New Hydrophilic Helixone Dialyzers as an Alternative for Hemodialysis Patients With Membrane Hypersensitivity Reactions: A Retrospective Single‐Cohort Study

open access: yesHemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Synthetic dialysis membranes, particularly those composed of polysulfone blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone, are commonly used in hemodialysis due to their efficiency.
