A 4-month programme of in-centre nocturnal haemodialysis was associated with improvements in patient outcomes

Conclusions This single-centre study showed a 4-month programme of extended hours INHD is safe and associated with improvements in QOL measures, decreased UF rates and measures of dialysis adequacy. These data have been used to expand our service and inform the design of future randomized controlled trials to examine medical endpoints.
