Experience With Nocturnal Hemodialysis.

In order to provide a highly efficient, long-duration form of hemodialysis, we developed nocturnal hemodialysis. Patients were dialyzed nightly at home for 8 - 10 hours, 6 - 7 nights/week. We kept the dialysate flow at 100 mL/min and the blood flow at 250 - 300 mL/min.
