Despite constant significant advances, cardiovascular as well as more general outcomes of hemodialysis treatment remain unsatisfactory. The introduction of innovative ‘high retention onset’ membranes has led to the development of a new treatment modality called ‘expanded hemodialysis’ (HDx), which is the focus of this book. 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.

As the editor and series editor of the book, C. Ronco provides a comprehensive and informative guide to the revolutionary treatment modality of expanded hemodialysis (HDx). With contributions from experts in the field, the book explores the potential benefits of HDx for end-stage kidney disease patients and discusses the emerging evidence and hypotheses surrounding this new therapy.

The book begins by addressing the current limitations of traditional hemodialysis treatment and the unsatisfactory outcomes in terms of cardiovascular and overall health. Despite advances in technology and understanding, there is a need for innovative solutions to improve the effectiveness of dialysis treatment. The introduction of ‘high retention onset’ membranes has led to the development of HDx, which offers the potential for enhanced removal of molecules that are not effectively cleared by current dialysis techniques.

One of the key advantages of HDx is its simplicity. The therapy can be easily set up and doesn’t require special hardware or specific nursing skills. This makes HDx accessible and applicable in a wide range of healthcare settings. The book provides a detailed overview of the setup and application of HDx, making it an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals looking to incorporate this new therapy into their practice.

Throughout the book, C. Ronco and the contributing experts present emerging evidence and hypotheses on the benefits of HDx. They discuss the potential impact on cardiovascular health, as well as the overall outcomes for hemodialysis patients. The book also addresses the implications for end-stage kidney disease patients and the potential improvements in care that HDx can offer.

The information presented in this book is not only relevant to physicians and healthcare professionals caring for dialysis patients, but also to students and fellows in the field of nephrology. The innovative nature of HDx makes it an exciting area of research and study, and this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for anyone interested in the topic.

Overall, “Expanded Hemodialysis (HDx): New Therapy for End-Stage Renal Disease” is an essential read for healthcare professionals seeking innovation and improved care solutions for dialysis patients. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of HDx, discussing the emerging evidence and hypotheses surrounding this new therapy. With its accessible language and detailed explanations, this book is suitable for both experienced physicians and those new to the field of nephrology.
