    Insomnia is common among patients on maintenance haemodialysis and may be exacerbated by the challenges of the COVID pandemic. However, data on the efficacy of insomnia interventions in this population are limited. Efforts are needed to address this important problem and increase access to insomnia interventions for patients on haemodialysis.

    The KALM-1 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase III trial showed that intravenous difelikefalin, a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist, significantly reduces itch intensity in haemodialysis patients with uraemic pruritus. However, 49% of difelikefalin-treated patients showed no improvement. In light of the increasing number of patients with end-stage renal disease, additional…

    Haemodialysis membranes are traditionally classified on the basis of their composition and water permeability. In this Review, the authors discuss the advances in materials technology, polymer chemistry, surface functionalization and dialyser assembly that mandate new classification approaches.
