Post by: Black on August 19, 2006, 06:54:50 PM

"...The Frequent Hemodialysis (FHN)Nocturnal Trial is a randomzied controlled trial recruiting subjects from dialysis units associated with designated Clinical Centers in the U.S. and Canada and followed for 14 months. Subjects will be randomized to conventional hemodialysis delivered three days per week in-center arm or to the six times per week nocturnal home hemodialysis arm which will follow any dialysis prescription provided their prescribed standardized Kt/V is at least 4.0 and treatment time is at least 6.0 hours, six times per week..."

They are going to train some in-center patients for home nocturnal hemodialysis.
