“…The better ultrafiltration rate has been associated with better control of blood pressure [33,36,37], where the majority of dialysis patients discontinued antihypertensive medications after 6-12 months of daily/nocturnal dialysis [30,115]. Increasing dialysis frequency, and in particular nocturnal HD, has also been linked to significant improvement in renal anemia [31,116] and reduction in erythropoietin dosage and iron supplements [115], significant reduction in left ventricular mass index [33,36,117], improvement in mineral metabolism and significant reduction in phosphorus binders [33,36,37,114], improvement in nutritional status [30,118], enhanced quality of life [33,36,119] and increased cumulative survival rate [34]. Moreover, patients on nocturnal HD have a similar survival rate as that in deceased kidney transplant recipients [120].…”
