Home hemodialysis versus in
a center

Home hemodialysis has some
important pros and cons when
compared with in-center hemodialysis.

Pros:

• Easier to fit into your daily schedule

• Easier to keep working if you have
a job or you wish to return to work
or school

• The convenience and cost savings
of not having to travel to a dialysis
center three times a week

• Independence and being in control
of your own treatments

• The comfort and privacy of being
in your own home during treatment

• Having greater access to
telephone, family members,
and visitors during treatment

• Being able to eat and drink when
you choose
