A short description is given of the starting and the running of a home dialysis unit for chronic renal failure. The cost of training and treating 22 home dialysis patients, over an 18-month period is recorded. The annual maintenance costs of patients on home hemodialysis are found to be no more, and often less, than those of the institutional care of any other chronic malady. Furthermore, the prospects for full rehabilitation are good. This being so, home dialysis cannot be regarded as a costly luxury but a treatment which every suitable candidate may reasonably expect.
本文简要介绍了一家慢性肾衰竭家庭透析中心的启动和运营情况。记录了在18个月期间培训和治疗22名家庭透析患者的费用。结果发现，家庭血液透析患者的年度维护成本并不高于，而且往往低于任何其他慢性病的机构护理成本。此外，完全康复的前景良好。既然如此，家庭透析不应被视为一种昂贵的奢侈品，而应被视为每个合适的患者都可以合理期待的一种治疗方式。
