HP Improves Sleep and Overall Survival Rate in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients

Hemoperfusion in Combination With Hemodialysis for Improvement of Self-reported Sleep Disturbance and Overall Survival Rate in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients

Sleep disturbance has been long-standing torments in most of patients with maintenance hemodialysis (HD). In this study, we attempted to explore whether long-term hemoperfusion (HP) could improve sleep disorder and increase overall survival rate in HD patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. duration of maintenance HD should be equal or more than 3 months,

2. patient's age should be equal or more than 18 years

   Exclusion Criteria:

   - i) he/she diagnosed with malignant tumors, an active rheumatism, infectious diseases, or a severe heart failure ii) he/she would disagree with the study

3. he/she has received a short-term poor prognosis

4. he/she would be more than 80 years old
