Overview

Brief Summary

The current study will investigate whether long term implementation of expanded hemodialysis (HDx) will effectively decrease serum levels of large uremic toxins and ameliorate progression of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease requiring hemodialysis.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, prospective, 1:1 randomized, parallel-group, study to evaluate the efficacy of expanded hemodialysis (HDx) compared to conventional hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease in South Korea for up to 12 months.
