Expanded hemodialysis: a new concept of renal replacement therapy.

Expanded hemodialysis (HDx) is an innovation that can increase the effectiveness of hemodialysis. The dialysis process is expected to promote more uremic toxins removal without causing significant hypoalbuminemia using the medium cut-off (MCO) membrane or also known as the high retention onset membrane. Compared with conventional membranes such as those of low-flux hemodialysis, high-flux hemodialysis, and hemodiafiltration, the MCO membrane in HDx is considered to be the closest to the physiology of the glomerular membrane. Several studies have shown the use of the MCO membrane in HDx provides clinical benefits and better outcome although further studies are needed to assess the long-term effect and greater impact for dialysis patients.
