3. When GPR is less than 1ml/min, dialysis should be performed 3 times a week.
4. Dialysis duration can be shorter if use dialyzers with large area and high permeability.
5. If there are complications of hyperkalemia, heart failure, pericardial effusion, patients should be ready for dialysis at any time.
6. In addition, the patient's economic affordability is also one of the reasons for determining the times of dialysis.
