Sumario: | This book explores the introduction and development of home-based peritoneal dialysis in Cuba, focusing on its implementation from December 2007 to December 2013. It provides a detailed analysis of clinical and humoral outcomes for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated at the Nephrology Institute in Cuba. The study highlights the effectiveness of home-based dialysis as a therapeutic alternative, with high patient survival rates and low peritonitis episodes. The author, Yanet Álvarez González, presents this work as part of her doctoral thesis in medical sciences, aiming to emphasize the need for alternative dialysis methods due to the increasing incidence of CKD. The intended audience includes medical professionals, healthcare policymakers, and researchers interested in nephrology and public health strategies.
