Are there any instances when you would not perform 3 consecutive daily dialysis sessions when initiating a patient on hemodialysis?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
In-patient - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (we are not fully staffed on Sundays).
Out-patient - I see no reason to do three days in a row.
There is nothing magical about starting dialysis. Patients were surviving without it before you started it, there is no rush.
