Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods/Design: IHDIP is a multicenter randomized experimental open trial. It is randomized in a 1:1 ratio and controlled through usual clinical practice, with a low intervention level and non-commercial. It includes 152 patients older than 18 years with chronic renal disease stage 5 and start HD as RRT, with a RRF of ≥ 4ml/min/1.73m2, measured by renal clearance of urea (KrU). The intervention group includes 76 patients who will start with one session of HD per week (incremental HD). The control group includes 76 patients who will start with three sessions per week (conventional HD). The primary purpose is assessing the survival rate, while the secondary purposes are the morbidity rate (hospital admissions), the clinical parameters, the quality of life and the efficiency.
Discussion: This study will enable us to know with the highest level of scientific evidence, the number of sessions a patient should receive when starting the HD treatment, depending on his/her RRF.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Authors like Kalantar-Zadeh et al (9,10) in the U.S.A. or Teruel et al (11) in Spain have published their experience with 2 HD sessions per week in incident patients. Through this regime they have shown that the RRF is preserved and the survival rate is similar to the one obtained with the conventional HD. This is due to the fact that the Kr has much greater clinical weight than Kd7, since the RRF contributes to the production of vitamin D and erythropoietine (12,13), and eliminates the protein-bound uremic toxins that are poorly dialyzed (13,14). In other words, the RRF plays a fundamental role both in the dialysis adequacy and in survival (15,16).
Currently, some authors are questioning the number of HD sessions with which a patient should start the renal replacement therapy (RRT) (7, 17-19). Progressive HD is an initiation regimen adapted to the patient's RRF. The frequency increases as the daily diuretic level declines (7, 17-19).
The IHDIP trial20 aims at determining whether or not starting with one HD session per week reduces mortality in incident patients and its influence in morbidity (hospital admissions), clinical parameters, quality of life and efficiency with regard to the patients who start RRT with the conventional method.

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
Intervention consists in reducing the frequency or number of sessions per week with which patients start the HD treatment. The experimental group will start with one session/week, then the number of weekly sessions will be increased to two and later to three as per criteria for progression.
