Nocturnal Home Hemodialysis
What is Nocturnal Home Hemodialysis?
Nocturnal home hemodialysis involves performing dialysis overnight while the patient sleeps comfortably at home. This method allows for longer sessions — typically 6 to 8 hours — providing gentler and more effective removal of toxins and fluids compared to conventional daytime treatments.
