What is home dialysis?
Home haemodialysis
Haemodialysis is performed in your home with a haemodialysis machine that functions like an artificial kidney. Blood is pumped from your body through tubes. It is then filtered and returned to your body.
Peritoneal dialysis
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own abdomen acts as a natural filter. Waste is removed from your blood through a cleansing fluid, which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

Why choose home dialysis?
At NRC, we believe home dialysis should be your first port of call for renal care. The treatment improves your quality of life, which results in improved adherence to the dialysis prescription and outcomes. Better dialysis outcomes lead to a reduction in hospitalisation and, ultimately, a longer life expectancy.
