HDx Therapy
Expanded Hemodialysis may make a World of Difference
for Patients, Clinicians & Healthcare Systems
Expand renal possibilities for all HD patients
Expanded hemodialysis (HDx) therapy is the next evolution in hemodialysis that brings us a step closer to the natural kidney.1 HDx enabled by Theranova* features an innovative membrane for higher permeability compared to HD and HDF to enable efficient removal of large-middle molecules (25 kDa to <60 kDa).2,3,4
Some of these large uremic toxins have been linked to inflammation, cardiovascular disease and other co-morbidities in dialysis patients.5,6
HDx therapy delivers meaningful and relevant innovation for dialysis patients
Safety Evidence
When creating internal filtration through HDx and MCO, the permeability of the MCO Theranova membrane for endotoxins is not significantly different vs low-flux, high-flux, and high cut-off membranes.7
Performance
HDx targets the efficient removal of large-middle molecules, many of which have been linked to the development of inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and other co-morbidities in dialysis patients13,14 while maintaining stable serum albumin levels over the long term.3, 15
Clinical Effectiveness
HDx therapy addresses pathophysiological responses and clinical outcomes that challenge patients undergoing hemodialysis for treatment of end stage kidney disease.8
Patient-Reported Measures
HDx therapy may improve patient-reported outcomes related to quality of life aspects of kidney disease, including symptom burden, restless legs syndrome criteria, pruritus and dialysis recovery time.4,8,9
Operational Efficiency
With HDx therapy, not only can Theranova provide advanced performance compared to HD and HDF along with clinical and patient-reported benefits but HDx therapy can be prescribed using regular HD workflow and infrastructure.6,10
Provide Expanded Hemodialysis. Retain HD Simplicity.
Economics
While HDx therapy may offer the potential to improve access to care and to help improve the effectiveness and quality of care, HDx therapy may simultaneously offer dialysis service providers and healthcare systems alike the opportunity to reduce the total cost of care.11,12
Baxter's Commitment to You
HDx therapy (expanded HD) provides high-performance hemodialysis treatments by targeting the efficient removal of large-middle molecules (25 kDa to < 58 kDa), many of which have been linked to the development of inflammation, cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities in dialysis patients.1,3,4
The Healthcare Concern
Medium-middle and large-middle molecules effect a range of biological functions including inflammation and cardiovascular risk. The retention of these molecules has been associated with higher mortality in chronic kidney disease patients.6
The Challenge
Traditional high-flux membranes prescribed for use in hemodiafiltration (HDF) and high-flux hemodialysis (HF-HD) treatments have limited capability to remove medium-middle and large-middle molecule uremic toxins.1,5,6

Important Safety Information
Theranova dialyzers are indicated for treatment of chronic and acute renal failure by hemodialysis.
*Do not use Theranova dialyzers in HDF or HF mode.
