BACKGROUND: Patients on in-center nocturnal hemodialysis therapy typically experience
higher interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) than patients on conventional hemodialysis therapy …

The prevalence of hypertension in the population with ESRD is very high, approaching
100% in some populations, and may account for the fact that cardiovascular disease …

By long dialysis we intend thrice weekly dialysis sessions of 7 or 8 hours. This has been the
standard treatment used in Tassin since 1968. Since 1998 a proportion of patients have …

We conducted a randomized crossover trial to establish, within patients, whether long-slow
hemodialysis (HD) was associated with better blood pressure (BP) control than standard …

Water and sodium overload is the predominant factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension in
dialysis patients. In many dialysis patients, dry weight is not reached because of an …

Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular
complications in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Hypervolemia has been accepted as an …

Whereas clinical assessment remains the mainstay of estimating dry weight in dialysis
patients, subtle over‐and under‐hydration may remain undetected, which may result in …

Volume and sodium excess is the predominant factor in the pathogenesis of hypertension in
dialysis patients. However, except for anephric patients, the relationship between volume …

Historical, clinical, economic, and technological developments have driven a shift in clinical
practice from predominantly 6-hour-long hemodialysis treatments to much shorter treatment …

Historical reviews have a tendency to be dinosaurian and consequently, if read at all, have
little impact upon therapeutic paradigms. However, the neglect of old knowledge may lead to …
