Am J Kidney Dis. 2011; (1): 90-100
The annual mortality rate for maintenance hemodialysis patients in the United States is unacceptably high at 15%-20%. In 2004, we initiated the Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) clinical trials. This report presents baseline characteristics of FHN Trial participants and compares them with hemodialysis patients tracked in US Renal Data System (USRDS) data.
