Less dialysis, more kidney? study tests gentler start for kidney failure patients

This study tests whether starting haemodialysis with fewer sessions per week (twice instead of the standard three times) can help preserve patients' remaining natural kidney function. New dialysis patients who still have some kidney function are randomly assigned to either standard thrice-weekly dialysis or an incremental approach that adjusts dialysis dose based on their natural kidney function. The goal is to see if this gentler start is feasible and whether it slows the loss of native kidney function, which could improve quality of life and survival.
