[edit] Stuff

This page is obviously a labour of love, but I've made a few changes, as I think that the general slant of the piece is very positive about home hemo, whilst not really addressing the reason why it plays such a small role in the provision of RRT to the ESRF population, namely that the patients need to be alert and better physical condition than those on unit hemo-ie those that should be transplanted- and transplantation is cheaper and better. I also changed alot of the abbreviations to make the section detailing the differences in the schedules easier to read, and changed a few of the lines in the advantages section, as well as removing the line about it improving fertility-births on hemo are rare but well documented, so a case report doesn't demonstrate improved fertility, and 've seen no trials. I hope it reads a little better now, what do you reckon?Felix-felix 18:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
