Across 15 environmental impact categories24, the overall eco-performance of an FX Dialyzer (FX classix 80) is notably better — on average by 42 % — compared to a reference dialyzer made from polycarbonate (HF 80S).
How do I choose a dialyzer?
Most modern high-flux dialyzers are relatively equivalent in their performance and safety, so key factors in choosing a dialyzer for an individual patient may include dialyzer clearance and biocompatibility.
How many types of dialyzer are there?
Dialyzers are classified to two types, low-flux and high-flux membrane dialyzers. High-flux dialyzers are recommended for good outcomes in hemodialysis patients [1,2].
