HOME DIALYSIS
Care That Meets You Where You Are
At Nephrology Associates of Tidewater, home dialysis is more than a treatment option—it is a philosophy of care, and a true passion of our President, Dr. Usama Hussein.
We believe that when clinically appropriate, patients deserve the opportunity to take control of their health in a way that supports independence, dignity, and quality of life. Home dialysis allows you to receive life-sustaining kidney care in the comfort of your own home—on your schedule, in your space, and surrounded by what matters most to you.
Why We Believe In Home Dialysis
Home dialysis has transformed the way kidney care is delivered. It offers a more personalized approach to treatment—one that aligns with your lifestyle, your goals, and your long-term health.
- Improved quality of life and flexibility – Dialyze on your schedule, not a facility’s
- Greater independence and control over your treatment
- Fewer dietary and fluid restrictions in many cases
- Better blood pressure and fluid management with more frequent, gentler treatments
- Reduced hospitalizations and improved overall outcomes
- Comparable—or in some cases improved—survival rates compared to in-center dialysis
Home therapies such as peritoneal dialysis and home hemodialysis allow treatments to be performed more frequently and more gently, which can reduce side effects and support overall well-being.
Most importantly, home dialysis gives patients the ability to live their lives more fully—maintaining work, travel, family time, and independence.

Is Home Dialysis Right for Everyone?
We understand that home dialysis is not the right choice for every patient—and that is completely okay.
Every individual’s health, lifestyle, and comfort level are different. Some patients prefer in-center care, require additional medical support, or simply feel more comfortable receiving treatment in a clinical setting.
At NAT, our priority is not one specific modality—it is you. We take the time to understand your needs, your goals, and what feels right for your life.
Our Commitment To You
Whether you choose home dialysis or another treatment path, you will receive the same level of compassionate, expert care.
Our mission is simple:
To empower you with knowledge, support you with expertise, and help you choose the path that allows you to live your healthiest, fullest life.
