Official Title: Hemodialysis Frequency and the Calcification Propensity of Serum

Brief Summary: The aim of this clinical research project is to test the hypothesis that daily dialysis has favorable effects on the calcification propensity of human serum, when determined by the investigators' newly developed in vitro serum test. The investigators' hypothesis is that shorter interdialytic intervals will result in an improved calcification propensity of serum. The determination of serum calcification has the potential to become a novel measure of dialysis quality in the future.
