Results More frequent HD regimens were associated with lower UF volumes and rates
compared with CHD3. Intradialytic fall in systolic BP was reduced in CSD and HSD groups
and abolished in HN group. Mean RWMAs per patient reduced with increasing dialysis
intensity (CHD3> CSD> HSD> HN). Home-based groups demonstrated lower high-
sensitivity C-reative protein levels, with trends to lower cTnT and NT-proBNP levels in the
more frequent groups. Conclusions Frequent HD regimes are associated with less dialysis …
