Safe home peritoneal dialysis requires careful sterile technique, consistent exit-site monitoring, and thorough logging of each fluid exchange.
People managing home dialysis sometimes let sterile technique slip under time pressure or fatigue, increasing infection risk in a treatment where consistency genuinely matters for safety.
Why This Happens
Home dialysis requires maintaining medical-grade sterile discipline outside a clinical setting, and the routine can feel repetitive in a way that makes consistency harder to maintain over time.
