Home hemodialysis and conventional in‐center hemodialysis in Japan: A comparison of health‐related quality of life

Abstract: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important measure of how disease affects patients' daily life. Conventional in-center hemodialysis (CHD) patients have been found to have decreased HRQOL. Recent study reported that at-home hemodialysis (HHD) improved the long-term HRQOL compared with CHD; however, there have been no data from Japanese HHD patients. A sample of 80 Japanese hemodialysis patients (46 HHD and 34 CHD) was matched for age, sex, and cause of end-stage renal disease. Patient HRQOL was meas… Show more

“…PD outcomes over the first 3 years of dialysis therapy are superior to those of CHD . Home‐based dialysis can allow for more freedom for patients to make their own lifestyle choices, especially as it relates to employment, hobbies, and family time, improving quality of life . Several studies have reported that 90% or more of nephrologists and other dialysis health care providers would select home therapies for themselves if they required dialysis .…”

“…The tradition of self-care extends to the 1,113 UK patients who performed haemodialysis at home in 2014 [ 1 ]. In addition to the better survival [ 8 ] and quality of life [ 9 ] associated with home HD (HHD), increasing HHD from 4.1% in the UK to the 12.9% used in Australia and New Zealand [ 10 ] would lead to estimated annual savings to the UK National Health Service of £16M (an increase of 1400 people treated with HHD at a saving of £12000 per patient per year [ 11 ]).…”
