Nocturnal Dialysis

Nocturnal dialysis is a type of kidney treatment that takes place while a person sleeps. It uses a machine to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, similar to traditional dialysis, but for longer sessions, typically lasting 6 to 8 hours. This method can be done at home, making it more convenient for some patients. By allowing the body more time to cleanse the blood overnight, nocturnal dialysis can improve overall health, reduce symptoms, and lead to better quality of life for individuals with chronic kidney disease.
