New Hydrophilic Helixone Dialyzers as an Alternative for Hemodialysis Patients With Membrane Hypersensitivity Reactions: A Retrospective Single‐Cohort Study
The hydrophilic helixone membranes appear to be a safe and well-tolerated alternative for patients with a history of hypersensitivity to synthetic membranes. These findings suggest that hydrophilic helixone dialyzers may allow more patients to continue treatment with synthetic membranes without severe reactions, potentially improving biocompatibility and treatment flexibility in routine clinical practice. While the findings are promising, larger prospective studies are necessary to confirm the safety and long-term clinical benefits.
