Why HighVolumeHDF?
Thanks to HighVolumeHDF, patients reported better outcomes31 regarding:
HighVolumeHDF for our patient‘s life:
Watch the inspiring story of Ibrahim, a patient undergoing high-volume hemodiafiltration. In this video, Ibrahim shares his story and personal experience with the therapy, the challenges and the adjustments he has made to live his life in balance.
We have always been convinced that high-volume HDF is one great step forward.
What is high-volume hemodiafiltration?
HighVolumeHDF is the most effective modality in the typical in-center 4 hour hemodialysis setting with regards to patient survival.2,30
High-volume hemodiafiltration can prolong the lives of dialysis patients.2,8,9 This renal replacement therapy, which has existed since the 80s, is a treatment that comes closer to the purification profile of natural kidneys, thanks to the combination of two principles: diffusion and convection.
