[Dialysis treatments outside the hospital].
In the early sixties a dramatic lack of hospital dialysis facilities prompted the development of home dialysis programs. The same reasons favoured in Turin, several years later, the start of a home-dialysis program and of the first European self dialysis program in an out-of-hospital setting. In the following years continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was begun. In the last few years we are experiencing a new shortening of in-hospital dialysis facilities; moreover, special attention is devoted to the costs of dialysis treatment, often overlooked in the past. It is likely that self-care and home dialysis will again aid us to solve these problems, as in the past. In this paper we report on the clinical, rehabilitative and socioeconomic results of out-of-hospital dialysis treatments, and on the possible future development of home-hemodialysis and CAPD in Piedmont.
