Training, support, and encouragement to help you feel your best
People pick home hemodialysis to live the longest, healthiest life they can with the freedom to live the way they want.
Private, expert training
Home hemodialysis treatment, or HHD for short, begins with in-depth, private training by a knowledgeable and kind dialysis nurse in a home dialysis education center. Often, the person who needs dialysis and their dialysis partner are trained together. Step-by-step, the nurse makes sure you understand the dialysis process and how to work your equipment. In about three to four weeks, most people feel comfortable doing treatments at home by themselves or with their partner.
Supplies delivered each month
Each month, HHD supplies arrive at your home so you can perform your treatment on a schedule designed by you and your doctor. Many people on HHD have treatments at night while they sleep.
HHD lifestyle
Many people on HHD have treatments at night, while they sleep. This means their days are free to work, attend school, or do whatever they want.

Hemodialysis (HD)
Blood is cleaned using an artificial kidney machine and filter.
A little at a time, blood flows out of the body into the dialysis machine. Waste and extra fluid are removed from your blood. The cleaned blood is returned to your body.
