Abstract

HD (Hemodialysis) is the dominant modality among ESRD patients in Korea, so the role of dialyzer is quite important for treatment outcomes. Theranova® (dialyzer of expanded hemodialysis, HDx) is a medium cut-off dialyzer that allows for better clearance of large middle molecules than traditional high-flux dialyzers. Compared to high flux HD, HDx via Theranova® has been associated with reduced treatments for anemia and lower risk of all-cause and cardiovascular hospitalization. This budget impact analysis evaluates healthcare costs aligned with clinical factor between Theranova® and conventional hemodialysis (HD) with a high-flux dialyzer in Korea.
