  • Title: Implications of the Frequent Hemodialysis Network-Daily Trial.
    Author: Raphael KL, Cheung AK.
    Journal: Semin Dial; 2011; 24(6):621-8. PubMed ID: 22098507.
    Abstract:
    Despite many years of experience with hemodialysis, the outcomes of maintenance dialysis patients remain poor. The Frequent Hemodialysis Network-Daily (FHN-Daily) Trial found that six times per week in-center short hemodialysis decreased left ventricular mass and improved self-reported physical functioning over a 1-year intervention period compared with conventional thrice-weekly dialysis. Despite the promising results, caution is needed in the projection of these intermediate outcomes to hard clinical endpoints, such as cardiovascular events and death.
