Brief description People with kidney disease requiring dialysis have substantially reduced life expectancy, poorer health status and quality of life. Better treatments are therefore urgently required. ACTIVE Dialysis is a clinical trial that will assess whether increased duration of dialysis improves these critical outcomes. A formal cost-effectiveness analysis will be conducted from a health system perspective.
