[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)

[edit] Remove Clinics Section?

I am thinking of removing it, I'm not sure that it adds anything. Generally you work with your nephrologist or clinic to set up an at home site, its something almost all of them would consider, its just so few people qualify the list of places doing it is small, this list of places is not going to ever be complete or up to date. --Theblog 00:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
