title: [Home dialysis].
abstract: Home haemodialysis is a good example of life-conserving medical technique performed outside the hospital. Since 1982, CPD has been displacing home haemodialysis as preferred independent dialysis. Nevertheless, for all those unable or unwilling to perform peritoneal dialysis, home haemodialysis continues to offer the advantages of self-treatment with good rehabilitation and excellent quality of life.
