Hemodialysis needs to be performed for multiple hours to adequately filter toxins.
Hemodialysis requires adequate session duration to effectively filter and remove accumulated solutes and toxins, such as phosphate, from the body.
The claim states that hemodialysis needs to be performed for multiple hours to adequately filter toxins. Papers [3] and [11] directly support this by showing that longer treatment duration significantly increases solute and phosphate removal, which cannot be fully compensated for by merely increasing clearance intensity over a short period. Therefore, the claim is supported.

The study demonstrates that longer treatment duration is a primary determinant of greater total phosphate removal during dialysis.

The study identifies session duration as the most effective modifiable factor for controlling phosphate burden and clearance in dialysis patients.
