Innovations en hémodialyse à domicile: Innovations in home hemodialysis

Abstract

Dialysis is a restrictive treatment with a significant impact on the quality of life of patients. Home hemodialysis (HHD) allows to maintain quality of life while improving the conditions of purification, in particular with the daily or even nocturnal practice of hemodialysis. The arrival of systems with a cycler in the 2010s for home hemodialysis brings a new dynamism for this type of technique. The practice with dialysate low flow with the optimization of storage space, the simplification of the use of generators and the emmergence of telemonitoring tools increases the accessibility of this dialysis technique, so that we can hope in the coming years to be able to offer this dialysis modality to any patient with chronic renal failure requiring extra-renal purification. ©2022 Société francophone de néphrologie, dialyse et transplantation.
