TL;DR: Nocturnal hemodialysis represents the most efficient form of dialysis at low cost and should be considered as an option for patients who can be trained for home he modialysis.

TL;DR: NHD is more effective in controlling serum phosphate levels than CHD, allowing patients to discontinue their phosphate binders completely and to ingest a more liberal diet.

TL;DR: A new vascular access catheter has been developed that is suitable for both short-term and long-term hemodialysis and should be possible to stop the subclavian vein damage and perforating injuries that have been the most important complications of semistiff, tapered, subClavian catheters.

TL;DR: The authors conclude that percutaneous internal jugular vein cannulation for hemodialysis access causes an acceptably low incidence of jugular veins damage, which strengthens the case for preferential use of the internal jugul vein for vascular access in patients with end‐stage renal failure and suggests that per cutaneous cannulation is less damaging than surgical insertion.

TL;DR: Stenosis of the superior vena cava should be suspected when jugular catheters in the SVC give inadequate flows in the absence of thrombotic obstruction, and balloon dilatation with or without vascular stenting may allow satisfactory vascular access to be reestablished.
