What is it about?
Patients with end-stage kidney disease who require hemodialysis for more than three months have little chance of leaving dialysis. Patient care play a role in improving kidney functions. In this study, we showed that even a patient who needed hemodialysis for 8 years can quit dialysis or the number of weekly dialysis sessions can be reduced by kidney care.

Why is it important?
The purpose of the case is to show the effect of patient care on cessation dialysis or reduction the dialysis sessions, to discuss cessation or reduction of dialysis sessions in chronic hemodialysis patients and to show how to follow up a patient whose dialysis is discontinued or reduced.
Perspectives
Termination of 8-year duration hemodialysis gradually by a kidney care program without kidney transplantation is a very rare condition. In end-stage kidney disease patients with adequate urination, patient care should also be considered to terminate hemodialysis or reduce the weekly dialysis sessions.
