“With daily home hemodialysis,
you don’t have the swings in your
blood chemistries and fluids like
you do when you don’t dialyze
every day, so you feel a lot better.
Home dialysis is for people who
want to be in control of the
process and be in the home
setting.”

— David J., patient on daily home
hemodialysis
