Hemodiafiltration (HDF) is a type of dialysis that combines the benefits of hemodialysis and hemofiltration. It is a more efficient form of dialysis than hemodialysis alone, as it removes more toxins from the blood. HDF works by passing the patient's blood through a filter, which removes toxins and other substances from the blood. The filtered blood is then returned to the patient's body. HDF is used to treat patients with kidney failure, as it helps to remove toxins from the blood that the kidneys are unable to remove. HDF is becoming increasingly popular in the dialysis market, as it is more efficient than hemodialysis alone. It is also less invasive than other forms of dialysis, as it does not require the patient to be connected to a machine for long periods of time. Some companies in the HDF market include Fresenius Medical Care, Baxter International, NxStage Medical, and B. Braun Melsungen AG. Show Less Read more
