Clinical outcomes of nocturnal dialysis.
Both of the outcome objectives for WJD were met. Removal of phosphates was significantly better, and his blood pressure was controlled and maintained below 140/90 without antihypertensive medications. In addition, WJD was enthusiastic about the improvement of his pre-existing symptoms such as pruritus, cramps, and lack of energy. Nocturnal dialysis has provided a significant improvement in this patient's well being.
