May lower sudden death risk in ESKD; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does frequent nocturnal hemodialysis improve prolonged QTc intervals in patients with end-stage kidney disease?
Frequent nocturnal hemodialysis is associated with a reduction in QTc intervals, which may help mitigate the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with end-stage kidney disease.
Thomson et al. (2013) studied this question.
