Ventilatory sensitivity to hypercapnia in end-stage renal disease patients whose apnea improved (A) or did not improve (B) following conversion from conventional hemodialysis to nocturnal hemodialysis

This figure shows a reduction in the sensitivity of the ventilatory response among apneic patients whose apnea improved when they were converted from conventional to nocturnal hemodialysis.

CHD: conventional hemodialysis; NHD: nocturnal hemodialysis.
