NxStage Celebrates Fifth Annual National Home Hemodialysis Day
Summary
Annually observed during National Kidney Month, this initiative focuses on raising awareness of home hemodialysis and more frequent therapy as a viable treatment option for patients requiring dialysis. And the home is the most practical setting for individualized care and innovative treatment options, such as more frequent hemodialysis, which have been shown to have significant clinical benefits. NxStage is also requesting that patients and their care partners share their stories on social media and update their Facebook profile picture frame to show their support of home hemodialysis.
