Abstract
- The article focuses on home haemodialysis in Australia. Home haemodialysis was frequently applied to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the 1970s which later became less frequently used in later years due to the introduction of peritoneal and satellite haemodialysis. The introduction of simpler and user-friendly equipment from the year 2000 brought back and led to the increased acceptance of home haemodialysis.
