- Brief Summary
In China, the estimated prevalence of patients with ESRD receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) or maintenance hemodialysis (HD) increased from 51.7 per million population (pmp) at the end of 2007 to 79.1 pmp at the end of 2008. There is a growing body of evidence that large uremic solutes play a significant role in clinical complications in dialysis patients. Since high-flux membranes show low permeability for large uremic solutes, extracorporeal blood purification treatments using these membranes have failed to significantly eliminate and reduce plasma levels of these molecules. To remove large sized uremic solutes by dialysis the membrane needs to have adequate permeability properties (pore size, porosity) for these solutes. The Theranova 400 contains a dialysis membrane that has a sharper sieving profile and a higher cutoff than that in conventional high-flux dialysis membranes. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Theranova Dialyzer compared to the FX80 with clinical endpoints.
