VIDEO: Transition costs are high when patients switch from PD to HHD

BOSTON — In this video from the National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meetings, Eric D. Weinhandl, PhD, MS, talks about the hidden costs in helping patients transition from peritoneal dialysis to home hemodialysis.
“Increasing use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) will likely lead to increasing numbers of patients transitioning from PD to hemodialysis (HD),” Weinhandl, an epidemiologist at the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute in Minneapolis at the time the research was completed, and colleagues wrote in a poster presented at the meeting.
