Daily haemodialysis does not seem to increase the need for vascular access procedures (fistulagram, thrombectomy and access revision) over conventional haemodialysis, say researchers. Achinger and co-workers followed up 26 patients on daily haemodialysis (3 h six times weekly) and 51 patients on conventional haemodialysis (4 h three times weekly) for 4 years and found no significant difference in the incidence rate of total access procedures or in the time to first access revision between groups.
