This can also impact the patient’s morale, leading to feelings of isolation or loss of independence.32

- Support groups and associations : These provide a space for listening and sharing experiences with other patients and caregivers.

- Maintaining social and professional activities : Whenever possible, adjusting work and daily life helps maintain a personal balance.
Kidney failure requires adjustments, but it should not be a barrier to a fulfilling life. Seeking support, staying informed, and accepting available help are key to living well with the condition.

What is home hemodialysis?
Home hemodialysis is a dialysis technique that allows patients to perform their sessions at home using a compact dialysis monitor. The principle of hemodialysis is based on extracorporeal blood circulation, where the blood is filtered through a dialyzer before being reinfused into the body.22
