Once-weekly hemodialysis combined with low-protein and low-salt dietary treatment as a favorable therapeutic modality for selected patients with end-stage renal failure: a prospective observational study in Japanese patients

摘要

BackgroundFor patients with end-stage renal failure (ESFR), thrice-weekly hemodialysis is a standard care. Once-weekly hemodialysis combined with low-protein and low-salt dietary treatment (OWHD-DT) have been rarely studied. Therefore, here, we describe our experience on OWHD-DT, and assess its long-term effectiveness.
