Baxter: HDx therapy data show 25% lower mortality rate up to four years

Baxter International announced new data showing expanded hemodialysis, known as HDx therapy, enabled by Theranova dialyzer, was associated with an approximately 25% lower all-cause mortality risk for up to four years when compared to high-flux hemodialysis,HF HD. The study, “Survival of expanded hemodialysis and high-flux hemodialysis patients in Colombia: a cohort study,” was presented at the 61st Congress of the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association or ERA-EDTA, Congress, May 23-26…”It is very exciting to see the results of this four-year study, indicating approximately 25% lower mortality for chronic kidney patients with the use of Baxter’s Theranova dialyzer. Dialysis treatments that more closely mimic the natural kidney have been associated with lower comorbidities, offering a protective effect for kidney patients,” said Professor Peter Rutherford, MB BS, PhD, vice president, Medical Affairs, Kidney Care, Baxter.
