Home based dialysis systems in developing countries

First of all, this system provides credible results boasting decreased mortality that could be ascribed to a more intensive dialysis regime (>12 hours) enabled by the flexibility of schedule at home [3]. Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of nocturnal hemodialysis are reported to have linked intensive HD regimes with improvements in the left ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy [4]; both factors having been accredited to increased mortality in ESRD and dialysis patients. The ordeal of thrice a week dialysis, metabolic derangement in those with ESRD, and vocational and psychosocial effects of dialysis dependence are likely attributable to the decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
