Home dialysis: Your patients are not too sick.
Most patients on home dialysis report feeling better than they did when they were on in-center dialysis. Among their reported results are more energy, increased appetite, lower blood pressure, reductions in medication(s), better hemoglobin values and the ability to continue working.
They also experience all the convenience, comfort and freedom that comes with dialyzing at home.
“I have successfully dialyzed patients at home that I previously thought were ‘too sick.’ With the right support system, my ‘too sick’ patients did great,” Dr. Joel Glickman, a nephrologist, said.
