The choice of home modality enhances a patient’s quality of life and is more convenient than traveling to an in-center clinic three times per week. Patients have also experienced better blood pressure control and fewer hospitalizations. Dialysis patients need education and support to determine the appropriate dialysis modality that fits their lifestyle, including but not limited to, how each modality will affect travel, diet & fluid consumption, school, work, social interaction, and well-being.
