Renal replacement therapy in Nepal

Hemodialysis International, 2010
AbstractRenal replacement therapy in Nepal fulfills only a small part of the current needs, with 97 hemodialysis machines available for the general population of 29 million. Transportation difficulties to dialysis centers preclude many of the patients from end‐stage renal disease care, due to the rural nature of the population. Peritoneal dialysis (PD)
