AB  - The mortality rate of chronic dialysis patients in the United States is 24% per 
      year per the 2006 United States Renal Data System. Although there have been 
      marked improvements in dialysis technology, cardiovascular disease is the 
      principal cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease patients. Inflammation 
      and left ventricular hypertrophy both contribute to atherosclerosis. Hemodialysis 
      3 times a week is the most commonly used form of dialysis in the United States. 
      The multicenter hemodialysis (HEMO) study hypothesized that an increase in 
      dialysis dose and use of high-flux membranes would improve mortality and decrease 
      morbidity. This study failed to show decreases in mortality. In other studies, 
      however, there appears to be improved morbidity with more frequent dialysis 
      including daily nocturnal hemodialysis and short-daily hemodialysis. The more 
      frequent dialysis may have some beneficial effect on the inflammatory process 
      that occurs in end-stage renal disease.
