ISN JOURNALS |
|
| KDIGO Controversies Conference on Home Dialysis |
| Home Dialysis: Conclusions From a Kidney Disease - Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference |
| The level of home dialysis use worldwide is low despite its association with greater patient autonomy and treatment satisfaction compared with in-center modalities. |
|
In May 2021, KDIGO held a conference focusing on determining dialysis modality choice and distribution and strategies to expand home dialysis use.
|
|
|
Among the conclusions was the need to align policy considerations and resources at the dialysis-center level with clear leadership from informed clinical teams.
