Speaking of staying at home 🏠... let’s not forget that #AdvancingAmericanKidneyHealth (AAKH) aims to have 80% of people with kidney failure use a home dialysis modality or obtain a transplant by 2025. Do you know how close we are to that goal?

As of December 2017, the USRDS reported 38% of people with kidney failure (or end stage renal disease/ESRD) in the United States were either on peritoneal dialysis (PD), home hemodialysis (HD), or had a functioning kidney transplant. What’s the breakdown of each modality?

By and large, that 38% is made up of transplant - 30% of all ESRD patients have a functioning kidney transplant. Only 7% are on PD, and 1.3% are on home HD. The rest of our patients (~ 61%) receive in-center HD.
