HealthDay (2/8, Preidt) reports, "While daily dialysis can boost the overall health of kidney disease patients, it also can put them at higher risk for certain complications," such as aneurysms or clots due to the repeated use of the blood-access site, according to a 245-patient
study published online Feb. 7 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. "Overall, the risk for a problem with the blood-access site was 76 percent higher in the frequent-dialysis group than in the standard-dialysis group, the researchers reported."
