Expanded Hemodialysis: A New Horizon in Kidney Disease Treatment

Despite significant advances in cardiovascular and general outcomes, hemodialysis treatment remains unsatisfactory. The introduction of innovative ‘high retention onset’ membranes has led to the development of a new treatment modality called ‘expanded hemodialysis’ (HDx). This new therapy is likely to benefit end-stage kidney disease patients, thanks to enhanced removal of molecules retained by current dialysis techniques.

HDx is simple to set up and application does not require special hardware or specific nursing skills. This book contains emerging evidence and fascinating new hypotheses on HDx. It is highly recommended for all physicians and healthcare professionals who are caring for dialysis patients and are seeking innovation and improved care solutions. It will also be of considerable interest to students and fellows.
