If you’re asking if there are any tools to help staff assess patients for home dialysis, the answer is YES. In the Method to Assess Treatment Choices for Home Dialysis (MATCH-D) that are individual tools to assess for PD and home HD.

There’s also a decision aid that staff can ask a patient to complete that will identify the patient’s values and lifestyle needs. It’s a great conversation starter.
