An Innovative Hemodialysis Technique:Expanded Hemodialysis and Clinical Application
Expanded hemodialysis is an innovation that can increase the effectiveness of hemodialysis.Compared with traditional modes such as low flux hemodialysis,high flux hemodialysis,and hemofiltration,this dialysis mode uses a medium rejection membrane dialyzer that is closest to the glomerular filtration membrane.Compared with hemofiltration,it does not require replacement fluid and filtration devices,and the technical operation is simpler.It effectively removes large and medium-sized toxins,which is expected to improve the outcome of end-stage renal disease patients and can be used as an alternative to high-capacity hemofiltration therapy.
