ARPDD

What ARPDD does

ARPDD (Association Régionale pour la Promotion de la Dialyse à Domicile) is a French non-profit patient association, constituted under the loi 1901, founded in 1974 in Reims, France. It operates as an authorized regional healthcare establishment delivering renal replacement therapy to patients with end-stage renal disease across the Champagne-Ardenne region. Its core service offering spans all major dialysis modalities: in-center hemodialysis (sequential, 3x/week), daily home hemodialysis (HDDQ, 5–6 sessions/week), continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (DPCA), and automated peritoneal dialysis (DPA), delivered across nine physical units — a mix of Unités de Dialyse Médicalisée (UDM) for non-autonomous patients and Unités d'Auto-Dialyse (UAD) for autonomous patients — supplemented by home dialysis programs and transplantation coordination. The technology stack relies on regulated medical devices including hemodialysis generators, hemodialyzers, automated cyclers for DPA, and surgical vascular access (arteriovenous fistula).
