- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study on haemodialysis (HD) outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients from the remote Kimberley region of Australia. The researchers retrospectively identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients from the Kimberley region and analysed secondary data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. The study concludes that HD treatment provided closer to home can be safe and effective in remote locations.
