At ASN Kidney Week 2025, Fresenius Medical Care presented new real-world evidence linking hemodiafiltration (HDF) to improved outcomes for dialysis patients. The oral presentation, “Hemodiafiltration is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular and fluid-related hospitalization outcomes” was delivered by researchers from our Global Medical Office and The Renal Research Institute (RRI), a subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care.
Drawing on data from more than 70,000 dialysis patients treated in Fresenius Medical Care NephroCare Clinics in Europe between 2019 and 2022, the study found that HDF was associated with significantly lower rates of cardiovascular- and fluid-related hospitalizations compared to high-flux hemodialysis. The results showed reductions in both hospital admissions and hospital days.
We thank all who attended the session and joined the discussion on how data-driven insights and innovation are advancing kidney care worldwide.
