... Abstract Remote patient management (RPM) has the potential to improve patient outcomes in home dialysis patients. Achieving this requires an operational plan that addresses data collection, RPM adoption, and plans for therapeutic interventions on abnormal results. The objective of this chapter...

... in the survival rate throughout Japan. However, as the number of cases with various complications increases, it is necessary to select the optimal dialysis prescription (including hours and frequency) for each individual in order to further improve survival rates. To perform intensive HD, home HD is essential...

... Abstract Home hemodialysis (HHD) has been available as a modality of renal replacement therapy since the 1960s. HHD allows intensive dialysis such as nocturnal hemodialysis or short daily hemodialysis. Previous studies have shown that patients receiving HHD have an increased survival and better...

... including the patient, their families, doctors, nurses, and caregivers on three important topics: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Recently, there has been a growing interest in home hemodialysis. Although peritoneal dialysis has existed in Japan for a long time, the number...

... Abstract Home hemodialysis (HD) is undergoing a resurgence. A major driver of this is economics, however, providers are also encouraged by a combination of excellent patient outcomes and patient experiences as well as the development of newer technologies that offer ease of use. Home HD offers...

... Abstract Patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing conventional renal replacement therapy face high morbidities and inappropriately high mortality rates globally. Intensive home hemodialysis has emerged as an alternate form of renal replacement therapy with superior clinical outcomes...

... Abstract Home haemodialysis offers many advantages in that patients take active control of their own health care and have the ability to determine when and how they dialyse. However, in order to develop and maintain a viable home haemodialysis program there has to be a balance between...

... Abstract Background: Home hemodialysis (HHD) is rapidly becoming more widespread because HHD programs enable patients to receive a sufficient dialysis dose to improve their quality of life and survival rate without compromising their lifestyle. Summary: Although HHD in Japan has a long...

... Abstract Home hemodialysis (HHD) is one of the best choices for improving the quality of life and survival rate of dialysis patients because it can lead to longer and more frequent dialysis programs to aid in achieving adequate dialysis. There were 461 dialysis patients treated with HHD...

... Abstract Intravenous lipid emulsions (IVLEs) are an important component of the nutritional admixtures for patients on long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for chronic intestinal failure (CIF). IVLEs are primarily used as a source of energy and essential fatty acids, and the content...

... home dialysis, notably PD have been recognized. One of the reasons for the low utilization of home (peritoneal) dialysis is the incomplete presentation of treatment options to the patient with ESRD. This review updates some recent data on the long-term survival of PD patients in comparison with long...

... Abstract With the advancement in laser technology, there has been a recent trend in laser and light devices towards ‘do it yourself’ at-home use. There has been an exponential growth in devices aimed at the treatment of acne, hair removal, and psoriasis. With the exception of the at-home UVB...

... ofhemodialysis and PD patients with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. The aim of thisstudy is to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the new multifrequency BodyComp®bioimpedance analyzer as a home based tool versus traditional Bia Vector®. ...
