Single HD may aid autonomic tone in uremic patients; should not yet change practice or guide monitoring without RCTs.
Does a single haemodialysis session improve heart rate variability in non-diabetic patients on maintenance haemodialysis?
A single hemodialysis session significantly improves heart rate variability in uremic patients, suggesting the removal of metabolic agents that interfere with autonomic cardiac control.
Forsström et al. (1986) studied this question.
