Zusammenfassung: | Conventional hemodialysis is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, as well as a reduced quality of life. There is a growing interest in the provision of more intensive hemodialysis, due to associated benefits in terms of reduced cardiovascular morbidity, better regulation of mineral metabolism, as well as its impact on quality of life measures, fertility, and sleep. Nocturnal hemodialysis, both in center and at home, allows the delivery of more intensive hemodialysis. This review discusses the benefits of nocturnal hemodialysis and evaluates the evidence based on available literature. |
