A small subset of hemodialysis patients exhibits persistently disruptive behavior. When all reasonable attempts to stop such behavior have been exhausted, they may undergo involuntary discharge from their dialysis unit. Such patients typically present repeatedly to the emergency department for urgent inpatient dialysis. We describe a novel approach to achieve a successful “second-chance” placement at a new outpatient dialysis unit. The patients were required to dialyze in the inpatient unit for a minimum of 3 months, during which their compliance and behavior were observed closely.
