Background: Home hemodialysis (HHD) offers a flexible, patient-centered modality for patients with kidney failure. Growth in HHD is achieved by increasing the number of patients starting HHD and reducing attrition with strategies to prevent the modifiable reasons for loss.

Objective: Our primary objective was to describe a Canadian HHD population in terms of technique failure and time to exit from HHD in order to understand reasons for exit.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Elena Qirzaji"

  • - Elena Qirzaji's research primarily focuses on home hemodialysis (HHD) and its impact on patient attrition, emphasizing the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to patients discontinuing this treatment modality.
  • - In her 2021 cohort study published in the Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease, she identifies technique failure and the duration patients remain on HHD as critical elements in analyzing attrition rates.
  • - The study aims to inform strategies to enhance patient retention in HHD by addressing modifiable reasons for patient exit, thereby promoting this flexible and patient-centered treatment option for those with kidney failure.
