KidneyViews
Welcome to the non-profit Medical Education Institute's Home Dialysis Central blogspot! This page is an umbrella under which Home Dialysis Central staff and guests can share their perspectives about home therapies and what we need to do to raise their profile and enable more people to use them. We'd like your comments as well! Bookmark our site and like us on Facebook! Help us tell the world about home dialysis.
We have a "lifestyle bible" for sale that can help you learn about dialysis options. Help, I Need Dialysis! We also have prepared some slideshows on how to have a good future with kidney disease.

Commentary to CMS: An Australian View of U.S. Dialysis
(1 comments)
In ANZ, nephrologist training in the management of home dialysis—both home HD and PD [...]—has long been mandatory. It is thus with some disbelief that we view the paucity of uptake and failure of funding for home haemodialysis in the US.
