Equipment and water treatment considerations for the provision of quotidian home hemodialysis.

Background: Whereas clinical benefits of more frequent hemodialysis (HD) treatment are well documented, little information is available about technical aspects involved in setting up a patient's home for home HD. Technical considerations include the home infrastructure, as well as required plumbing modifications and electrical hook-ups.

Methods: Twenty home HD installations were supported for the London Daily/Nocturnal Hemodialysis Study.
