Abstract:
Hemodialysis is one of the main treatment methods for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), and conventional hemodialysis (CHD) is the most widely used one. With the development of dialysis technology, the survival time of hemodialysis patients is significantly prolonged, but the mortality remains high. Nocturnal hemodialysis (NHD) was proposed in 1963 as a new type of dialysis, and it has greatly extended time of dialysis as compared with CHD. NHD has advantages in controlling blood pressure and cardiovascular function, correcting anemia, improving calcium and phosphorus metabolism and nutritional status, and enhancing quality of life of hemodialysis patients.
