Dialysis in schizophrenia: a double-blind evaluation

SC Schulz, DP van Kammen, JE Balow, MW Flye, and WE Bunney Jr

Eight chronic schizophrenia patients completed a research program consisting of ten weekly sessions of active hemodialysis and ten weekly sessions of sham dialysis in a double-blind design. Previous reports of therapeutic efficacy were not substantiated. None of the patients improved during active dialysis; four patients worsened.
