GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemodialysis (HD) three times per week is the conventional standard method to treat patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) in whom uremia can no longer be managed conservatively.

Detailed explanation-2: -It has been reported that twice-weekly HD dialysis therapy was associated with better preservation of RKF than thrice-weekly HD. Our study also demonstrated that the RKF was significantly higher at baseline in patients undergoing twice-weekly HD, and that it remained higher at all follow-up points.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemodialysis is usually done three times a week, for 3 to 4 hours a day, depending on how well the kidneys work, and how much fluid weight they have gained between treatments. Hemodialysis can be done in a special dialysis center in a hospital or at home.

Detailed explanation-4: -In-center treatment time is 3-5 hours, 3 times a week. People who do home hemodialysis have more flexibility about how often it can be done. If done daily, treatment time would be 1½ to 2 hours. You will need an access into the bloodstream for placing needles needed for hemodialysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Many people get hemodialysis three times a week in sessions of 3 to 5 hours each. Daily hemodialysis. This involves more-frequent, but shorter sessions-usually performed at home six or seven days a week for about two hours each time.
