May improve BP control in ESRD; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm CV benefits.

Structured PICO

Does frequent intensive hemodialysis improve blood pressure control and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ESRD compared to conventional hemodialysis?

Population

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)

Intervention

Frequent intensive hemodialysis (short daily hemodialysis [2 hours per session, six sessions per week] and nocturnal home hemodialysis [6 hours per session, five to six sessions per week])

Comparator

Conventional hemodialysis (4 hours per session, three sessions per week)

Outcome

Blood pressure control and cardiovascular outcomes

Frequent intensive hemodialysis may offer superior cardiovascular benefits and blood pressure control for ESRD patients compared to conventional hemodialysis regimens.
