Women of childbearing age on conventional hemodialysis (CHD) have decreased fertility when compared with the general population. Even in women who conceived, maternal morbidity and fetal mortality remained elevated. We hypothesized that nocturnal hemodialysis (NHD) (3 to 6 sessions per week, 6 to 8 h per treatment), by augmenting uremic clearance, leads to a more hospitable maternal environment and therefore superior outcomes in fertility and pregnancy compared with CHD.
