Maintenance haemodialysis was offered to an unselected series of patients presenting with end-stage renal disease between 1975 and 1982. Of the initial 283 patients, 274 started on haemodialysis, and 89% of these were alive and available for follow-up beyond the first 3 months of treatment. 98% of the latter eventually achieved permanent home haemodialysis with a system using simplified dialysis equipment and procedures, together with training methods designed to reinforce patient motivation. Universal home haemodialysis is now feasible when appropriate techniques are used.
1975年至1982年间，对一系列未经挑选的终末期肾病患者提供维持性血液透析治疗。最初的283名患者中，274名开始接受血液透析，其中89%在治疗的前3个月后仍存活并可进行随访。后者中有98%最终通过使用简化透析设备和程序的系统以及旨在增强患者积极性的培训方法实现了永久性家庭血液透析。当使用适当技术时，普及家庭血液透析现在是可行的。
