Dialysis, at its most fundamental, is the act of cleaning the blood to remove toxins. In a recent study, we explored whether dialyzers with larger pore sizes, which allow the clearance of larger toxins, also allow beneficial molecules to escape.

Our research used a unique ex vivo system to compare the protein loss in both high-flux and medium cut-off (MCO) membranes. The findings consistently show a higher protein loss - up to 9-fold - with MCO membranes. This work is a significant step forward in understanding the nonselective nature of dialysis and raises important questions for future bioinformatic analyses and clinical studies.

In this video, Dr. Manuela Stauss-Grabo, Xiaoling Wang, Peter Kotanko, MD FASN FISN, and Nadja Grobe, Ph.D. discuss the ex vivo system they developed to allow concurrent comparison of two dialyzers under the same conditions, using the same plasma source.

What does it look like to rebuild your life — again and again? 💡
Katrin Holland has faced complex health challenges since she was 14. Years of managing type 1 diabetes, kidney failure, countless hours in dialysis centers, and two kidney transplants could have defined her story. But Katrin never stopped searching for ways to reclaim her independence.

Home hemodialysis didn’t just offer Katrin a different way to receive treatment. It allowed her to keep working, take back control of her time, and shape her everyday life around what matters most to her — not around dialysis schedules.

Her story is a powerful reminder of how personalized home care and innovative therapy options can help people living with chronic kidney disease maintain connection, purpose, and independence.

🎥 Hear in Katrin’s own words how discovering home dialysis changed her outlook and her daily life.

It’s always the right time to celebrate our company purpose and the meaningful progress we have made at Fresenius Medical Care! Yesterday’s live Global Town Hall from our North American headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts did just that. Colleagues came together from around the world, both in-person and virtually, to reconnect, reflect, and look ahead.

At the event, we heard from Phillip Fleming, one of our home hemodialysis patients, whose inspiring story reminded us of why we do what we do. Our CEO, Helen Giza, also shared key developments and milestones of our FME Reignite strategy, and members of the Management Board joined the Q&A to answer questions from the audience.

Our incoming CEO of Care Enablement, Joe Turk, starting January 1, 2026, joined the stage alongside Tommy O’Connor, the new CEO of Interwell Health, who leads our Value-Based Care segment.

As Helen said, we’re closing in on a strong year – and stepping into our FME Reignite era with purpose and focus. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and to our team who brought this energizing event to life!

We are !
