Objective To study the influence of different dialysis frequence on infection and prognosis of maintenance hemedialysis patients. Methods Fifty-three maintenance hemodialysis patients with chronic kidney disease were divided into 3 groups. Groups A, B, C dialysed thrice per week (19 cases),twice per week (15 cases) and thrice per two weeks (19 cases), respectively. All the patients were dialysed for 1 year. The rate of infection, death number and death reason were recorded. Results All the cases were infected 62 times (17 times in group A, 18 times in group B and 27 times in group C). Pulmonary infection,blood vessels infection, urinary tract infection and digestive tract infection happened 35 times(56.45% ), 14 times (22.58%), 8 times (12.90%) and 5 times (8.06%) respectively. Eight cases died in three groups,and the total death rate was 15.09%, with 1 case in group A,1 case in group B and 6 cases in group C.There was significant difference in prognosis among three groups (χ2 =6.293,P <0.05). Conclusions Patients who dialysis less than twice per week have higher rate of infection and death. Dialysis program should be adjusted and dialysis frequence should be increased.
