Experiences with Redy-dialysis on a camper.
In April 1976 a dialysis camper with Redy-dialysis equipment was put into service by the Institute of Nephrology of the 4th Department for Internal Medicine of the City Hospital Nürnberg. In the following six years of service the bus was rented 40 times by 20 different home dialysis patients and was driven more than 100 000 km in Europe on 700 days. Two hundred and eighty haemodialyses with the Redy-system showed that this kind of dialysis during the holidays can be carried out without running a greater risk than with home dialysis itself. A home dialysis patient describes his own experiences with the 'Redy-bus'.
