“…Diese Daten und der Bericht der Hämodialyse-Studiengruppe (HEMO), demzufolge eine geringe Erhöhung der Dialysedosis im konventionellen Programm die Mortalität nicht senken kann, erhöhen das Interesse für intensivierte Dialyseprogramme. Dazu zählen die lange intermittierende Hämodialyse (8 h, 3-mal pro Woche), die kurze tägliche Hämodialyse (2-3 h, 5-7-mal pro Woche) und die tägliche nächtliche Hämodialyse (6-8 h, 5-7-mal pro Woche) [3]. Eine Übersicht über die intensivierten Hämodialyseprogramme gibt Tabelle 1 [4].…”

Intensified hemodialysis regimens: neglected treatment options for children and adolescents

During recent years, the importance of intensified dialysis regimens has gathered increasing interest, especially after the Hemodialysis (HEMO) Study Group reported that a higher dose of thrice-weekly hemodialysis failed to improve clinical outcomes. Long nocturnal hemodialysis (three to six times per week) or short daily hemodialysis are the currently used forms of intensified dialysis. There is substantial evidence for cardiovascular and quality-of-life improvements as well as financial benefits with intensified hemodialysis. Preliminary experience with daily hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration in children has been reported. Given the continuing shortage of donor organs for kidney transplantation, the increasing incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and recognition of the deleterious effects of long-lasting ESRD, growth retardation, and poor social rehabilitation, more intensified dialysis regimens are a much-needed therapeutical option in both adults and children.

SUMMARY:Although early experience in Australia and New Zealand confirmed home haemodialysis to be well tolerated, effective and with lower morbidity and mortality compared with centre-based haemodialysis, the advent of ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and 'satellite' haemodialysis has led to a steadily declining home haemodialysis population. However, the emergence of nocturnal haemodialysis, as a safe and highly effective therapy, has added to the modality choices now available and offers a new, highly attractive home-based option with many advantages over centre-based dialysis. For the patient, nocturnal haemodialysis means fluid and dietary freedom, less antihypertensive medication, the abolition of phosphate binders, the return of daytime freedom and the capacity for full-time employment. Potential biochemical benefits include normalization of the blood urea, serum creatinine, albumin, b 2 microglobulin, homocysteine and triglyceride levels and other nutritional markers. Improved quality of life and sleep patterns and a resolution of sleep apnoea have been shown. Left ventricular function has also shown marked improvement. For the provider, nocturnal home haemodialysis offers clear cost advantages by avoiding high-cost nursing and infrastructure expenditure. Although consumable and equipment costs are higher, the savings on wage and infrastructure far outweigh this added expenditure. These combined factors make nocturnal haemodialysis an irresistible addition to comprehensive dialysis services, both from a clinical outcome and fiscal perspective.
