    A dialysis schedule of thrice weekly four-hour sessions is effective for most patients, matching the clinical outcomes of longer, less frequent hemodialysis. Patients also preferred this shorter, more frequent dialysis plan.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Context:

    • Chronic kidney disease patients require ongoing dialysis treatment.
    • Dialysis prescription optimization is crucial for patient well-being and adherence.
    • Comparing different dialysis frequencies and durations is essential for effective treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the clinical efficacy and patient preference of different hemodialysis (HD) schedules.
    • To evaluate the impact of varying dialysis frequencies (twice weekly vs. thrice weekly) on patient health outcomes.
    • To determine if shorter, more frequent dialysis sessions can achieve comparable results to longer, less frequent ones.

    Summary:

    • Patients undergoing hemodialysis were assessed across various clinical parameters, including hydration, anemia, and bone disease, comparing twice-weekly 7- or 8-hour sessions with thrice-weekly 4-hour sessions.

  • No significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed between the different dialysis schedules.
  • Patients consistently preferred the thrice-weekly 4-hour dialysis plan over other schedules.

    • Impact:

    • Thrice-weekly 4-hour dialysis is a viable and preferred option for maintaining patient health in chronic kidney disease.
    • This study suggests that dialysis schedule can be tailored to patient preference without compromising clinical outcomes.
    • Medium-molecular-substance concentration in blood may not be a sensitive marker for assessing dialysis quality in well-functioning patients.
