Summary

Hemodialysis is the most worldwide prescribed renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. The frequency of sessions per week remains a debatable issue. In the majority of developed Western and Asian countries, patients on chronic hemodialysis are undergoing three dialysis sessions weekly. In developing countries and some developed countries, a twice-weekly schedule independent of residual kidney function is still accepted, sometimes because of lack of resources and some other times because of patients' resistance to undergo three sessions per week. The primary objective of this trial is to assess the total mortality of patients on thrice against twice-weekly hemodialysis. The secondary objectives are a) to compare the rate of urgent supplementary hemodialysis sessions between the two arms, mainly those due to pulmonary edema and hyperkalemia, b) to compare the number of hospitalizations and duration of stay, c) to compare the rate of uncontrolled hypertension between the two groups, d) to analyze the quantity of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in units to achieve a haemoglobin (Hb) 11 to 11.5 g/dl, e) to assess the factors associated with a higher mortality in the two groups.
