“…Location of the water treatment system in the house is another factor to be considered especially in case of nocturnal home HD. It is desirable to have the water treatment system in a separate room as it decreases the level of noise and allows the child to sleep comfortably during the night.…”

“…Examples include the NxStage system and Fresenius2008K@home machine. The NxStage system is supplied either with ready‐to‐use dialysate bags or contains an integrated water purification and dialysate production system that can prepare dialysate using regular tap water while the Fresenius2008K@home machine uses a separate device along with it that purifies the water used for treatment called the reverse osmosis system.…”

“…The main necessities for remote monitoring include phone lines and a computer with an internet connection at the patient end, while the hospital HHD unit needs to be equipped with a server and a modem with suitable software systems . Remote monitoring decreases the need for in‐center monthly assessments, and along with real‐time two‐way communication between patient and the HD team improves the patient/caregiver satisfaction . Limitations to the application of remote monitoring include concerns about privacy and limited capabilities of users to operate advanced technologies …”

Chronic kidney disease and end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) in children are major health concerns worldwide with increasing incidence and prevalence. Renal replacement therapies and kidney transplants have remarkably improved the management of patients with ESRD in both adult and pediatric populations. Kidney transplant has the best patient outcomes, but many a time it has a considerable waiting period. In the meantime, the majority of patients with pediatric ESRD are dependent on dialysis. The conventionally utilized hemodialysis regimen is the three times weekly, in‐center hemodialysis. Many studies have demonstrated the unfavorable long‐term morbidity associated with the conventional regimen. Intensified dialysis programs, which include extended nocturnal hemodialysis or short daily hemodialysis, are being increasingly advocated over the past two decades. In addition to having much better clinical outcomes as compared with the conventional regimen, the flexibility to provide dialysis at home serves as a great incentive. PubMed/Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases for literature on nocturnal home hemodialysis in children with ESRD were extensively searched. Contrary to the noticeable literature available on adult home hemodialysis, a small number of studies exist in the pediatric population. In this review, the benefits, implementation and associated barriers of nocturnal home hemodialysis in children were addressed.
