The home hemodialysis patient experience: A qualitative assessment of modality use and discontinuation

Abstract

Introduction: Home hemodialysis (HHD) is an under‐utilized renal replacement modality in the United States in part because of high rates of discontinuation and transfer to in‐center hemodialysis. Understanding, from the perspective of patients, facilitators, and barriers to sustained use of HHD is important for increasing successful use of this modality.
