Benefits of High-Efficiency Hemodiafiltration Compared to Conventional Hemodialysis
- **Reduced mortality rate**: When sufficient treatment is provided, it reduces the mortality rate compared to conventional hemodialysis.
- **Greater removal of large molecules**: Removes more large molecular waste products than conventional hemodialysis, which helps increase appetite, reduce joint pain and stiffness, lessen skin discoloration, and remove more phosphate, reducing complications from phosphate accumulation.
- **Improved anemia**: Enhances anemia and reduces the need for erythropoietin-stimulating agents.
- **Reduced intradialytic hypotension**: Lowers the incidence of low blood pressure during dialysis due to more stable cardiovascular system function.
- **Improved quality of life**: Reduces neurological complications such as insomnia, body itching, and other issues.
