Abstract
Haemodialysis continues to expand in the UK with over 25 000 patients now being treated, representing a 10%
increase since publication of the previous Renal Association guideline for haemodialysis. In addition the
patient group continues to develop: the typical patient is now 67 years old with a median history of 3.2 years
on renal replacement therapy. The authors of this guideline aimed principally to update the previous guideline
according to the latest research and experience, but also to expand the scope into areas not previously
covered but relevant to haemodialysis practice.
