title: Effect of Nocturnal Dialysis on Prognosis in Adult Patients: A Review of the Literature.
abstract: Compared to conventional hemodialysis dialysis, nocturnal hemodialysis represents a more effective modality for receiving hemodialysis and has been associated with a 25% reduction in risk of death and improved quality of life. This article identifies the evidence about the mortality and morbidity risk for patients undergoing conventional hemodialysis vs. nocturnal hemodialysis.
