Home Hemodialysis Today is a short report from the 5th International Symposium on Home Hemodialysis. We plan to publish it every year in a news-style format similar to PD Today, a short report from the Annual Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis. Home Hemodialysis Today will be distributed to all registrants of the Home Hemodialysis Symposium and PD Conference, together with PD Today, a few weeks after the Symposium. The idea is to provide, as soon as possible, information and highlights of the Symposium and Conference to all participants.

Home Hemodialysis Today will be useful to many readers who Home Hemodialysis International, a peer-reviewed journal containing the most interesting topics from the Symposium, will be published later in 1999.
