The home hemodialysis program team at Community/ Physicians Dialysis Center Fairborn began training their first patient in October 2004. They now have six home patients dialyzing using either daily nocturnal or short daily home hemodialysis. Improved patient outcomes, including excellent morbidity/mortality figures, are hallmarks of the success of the. program. In addition, all home patients have seen moderate to large improvements in quality of life since starting to dialyze at home. This article describes the details involved with developing the program, and what was learned along the way. It is the hope of this author that others will be encouraged by this story, and embrace the challenge of providing this exciting modality option to the patients they serve.
费尔伯恩社区/内科医生透析中心的家庭血液透析项目团队于2004年10月开始培训他们的首位患者。他们现在有六名家庭患者，采用夜间每日或短程每日家庭血液透析方式进行透析。包括出色的发病率/死亡率数据在内的患者预后改善，是该项目成功的标志。此外，所有家庭患者自开始在家中透析以来，生活质量都有了中度到大幅的改善。本文描述了开展该项目所涉及的细节以及在此过程中的经验教训。作者希望这个故事能激励其他人，并接受为他们所服务的患者提供这种令人兴奋的治疗方式选择的挑战。
