- Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nocturnal home hemodialysis (NHD) (5 - 6 sessions per week; 6 - 8 hours per session) is a novel form of home-based renal replacement therapy, which has been shown to improve several cardiovascular risk factors. The impact of NHD on hospitalization rate has remained unclear. We hypothesized that augmentation of small and middle molecular clearance by NHD would result in a reduction of dialysis related or cardiovascular specific hospitalizations.
