Overview

Quotidian hemodialysis may offer cardiovascular and quality-of-life benefits; leaves open confirmation in prospective randomized trials.

Structured PICO

Does quotidian hemodialysis improve clinical outcomes and quality of life compared to standard hemodialysis in patients requiring dialysis?

P
Population
Patients requiring hemodialysis
I
Intervention
Quotidian (daily) hemodialysis
C
Comparator
Standard thrice-weekly hemodialysis
O
Outcome
Clinical outcomes, cardiovascular improvements, and quality of life

Quotidian hemodialysis appears to offer cardiovascular and quality-of-life benefits over standard thrice-weekly hemodialysis, though prospective randomized trials are needed.

Limitations

  • Lack of prospective randomized controlled studies at the time of publication
