TLDR
Patients who were on INHD exhibited excellent quality indicators, with better survival and lower hospitalization rates, and the relative contributions of patient selection versus effect of therapy on outcomes remain to be elucidated in prospective clinical trials.Abstract:
Background and objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate epidemiology and outcomes of a large in-center nocturnal hemodialysis (INHD) program.
Design, setting, participants, & measurements: This case-control study compared patients who were on thrice-weekly INHD from 56 Fresenius Medical Care, North America facilities with conventional hemodialysis patients from 244 facilities within the surrounding geographic area. All INHD cases and conventional hemodialysis control subjects who were active as of January 1, 2007, were followed until December 31, 2007, for evaluation of mortality and hospitalization.
Results: As of January 1, 2007, 655 patients had been on INHD for 51 ± 73 d. Patients were younger, there were more male and black patients, and vintage was longer, but they had less diabetes compared with 15,334 control subjects. Unadjusted hazard ratio was 0.59 for mortality and 0.76 for hospitalization. After adjustment for case mix and access type, only hospitalization remained significant. Fewer INHD patients were hospitalized (48 versus 59%) with a normalized rate of 9.6 versus 13.5 hospital days per patient-year. INHD patients had greater interdialytic weight gains but lower BP. At baseline, hemoglobin values were similar, whereas albumin and phosphorus values favored INHD. Mean equilibrated Kt/V was higher in INHD patients related to longer treatment time, despite lower blood and dialysate flow rates.
Conclusions: Patients who were on INHD exhibited excellent quality indicators, with better survival and lower hospitalization rates. The relative contributions of patient selection versus effect of therapy on outcomes remain to be elucidated in prospective clinical trials.read more

Selectively increasing the clearance of protein-bound uremic solutes
TL;DR: The removal of bound solutes can be increased by raising the dialyzate flow and dialyzer size above the low levels sufficient to achieve target Kt/V(urea) during extended treatment.

Outcomes of Extended-Hours Hemodialysis Performed Predominantly at Home

TL;DR: The major treatment-associated adverse events were related to complications of vascular access, particularly infection, and the risk of developing vascular access complications may be increased in extended-hours hemodialysis, which may negatively affect long-term outcomes.

TL;DR: The need to ascertain the validity and utility of a multidimensional measure that moves beyond small solute kinetics alone to quantify optimal dialysis derived from both patient-reported and comprehensive clinical and dialysis-related measures is proposed.

TL;DR: This analysis identified numerous potential sources of bias in studies of the comparative effectiveness of dialysis modalities and found significant differences in baseline and time-varying clinical characteristics associated withdialysis modality.

TL;DR: The most important associations of interdialytic weight gain are age, height, weight, diuresis, and postdialysis sodium.

TL;DR: Patients undergoing hemodialysis thrice weekly appear to have no major benefit from a higher dialysis dose than that recommended by current U.S. guidelines or from the use of a high-flux membrane.

TL;DR: Longer TT and higher Kt/V were independently as well as synergistically associated with lower mortality, and a randomized clinical trial of longer dialysis sessions in thrice-weekly HD is warranted.

Control of serum phosphate without any phosphate binders in patients treated with nocturnal hemodialysis
Istvan Mucsi,Gavril Hercz,Robert Uldall,Michaelene Ouwendyk,Robert Francoeur,Andreas Pierratos +5 more
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.

The Intensity of Hemodialysis and the Response to Erythropoietin in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease
TL;DR: In patients with end-stage renal disease, inadequate hemodialysis is associated with a suboptimal response to erythropoietin therapy and increasing the intensity of dialysis in patients with anemia who are receiving inadequate dialysis results in a significant increase in the hematocrit.
