Incremental and Twice-Weekly Hemodialysis Program in Practice

Schematic representation of the incremental dialysis program with twice-weekly hemodialysis (HD) initiation. Each block represents a weekly HD therapy. Blocks in yellow represent the period of incremental transition to twice-weekly HD, whereas dark violet blocks illustrate increase in dialysis frequency to thrice weekly or more frequently as needed. Light violet blocks highlight the transition to a palliative dialysis protocol with less-frequent HD therapy. Adapted from ref. 2, with permission.
