Home Hemodialysis
Home hemodialysis (HHD) is an alternative to in-center dialysis for people who want control over their time and treatment. Many dialysis clinics offer HHD training and support for patients and caregivers. You have multiple options for machines to use, with different features and benefits.
Like in-center dialysis, you’ll be connected to the machine via your dialysis access, which filters your blood through a dialyzer to remove toxins, waste, and excess fluid, then returns clean blood to you.
Key considerations:
- Home dialysis clinic
- Training for home
- Care partner
- Cannulation
- Readying your home
- Professional goals
- Schedule flexibility
- Independence
- Quality of life

Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an alternative to in-center dialysis and hemodialysis. PD is typically performed in the home, with training and support from your dialysis clinic. Different from hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis filters the blood by pumping dialysate into your peritoneal (abdominal) cavity, where it absorbs toxins and waste over the course of several hours, before being drained out and discarded.
Key considerations:
- Home dialysis clinic
- Training for home
- Clinical goals
- Time treating
- Readying your home
- Infection control
- Physical intimacy

In-Center Dialysis
In-center dialysis treatments take place at a specialized facility where you have a set time for treatment 3 times per week. Trained healthcare providers will take charge of you and will administer your treatment, typically using high-flow dialysis machines designed for professionals.
You’ll be connected to the machine via your dialysis access, which filters your blood through a dialyzer to remove toxins, waste, and excess fluid, then returns clean blood to you.
Key considerations:
- Location
- Transportation
- Scheduling
- Safety & exposure
- Contingency planning
- Emotional toll
- Staffing
- Machine options
