Frequent hemodialysis can alter volume status, blood pressure, and the concentration of
osmotically active solutes, each of which might affect residual kidney function (RKF). In the …

Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is accepted for the assessment of total-body water (TBW),
intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF). We aimed to compare precision and …

Cardiovascular (CV) events are increased 36-fold in patients with end-stage renal disease.
However, randomized controlled trials to lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and serum total …

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication of hemodialysis, but there is no
data about the time of onset during treatment. Here we describe the incidence of IDH …

Objective Predialysis fluid overload (FO) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is associated with an
increased risk of death, further increased by the presence of inflammation. Malnutrition is …

In developing countries with limited medical infrastructure, preservation and recovery of
renal function following acute kidney injury (AKI) is difficult. In conjunction with clinical …

The effects of high-flux dialysis and ultrapure dialysate on survival of hemodialysis patients
are incompletely understood. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the …

Background Dialysis patients are typically inactive and their physical activity (PA) decreases
over time. Uremic toxicity has been suggested as a potential causal factor of low PA in …

Vitamin C has several well‐established roles in physiology including synthesis of collagen,
carnitine and epinephrine, absorption of dietary iron, and mobilization of storage iron for …

In previous reports of the Frequent Hemodialysis Network trials, frequent hemodialysis (HD)
reduced extracellular fluid (ECF) and left ventricular mass (LVM), with more pronounced …
