November 7, 2023- Baxter International Inc. announced new data on kidney care and vital organ support indicating Baxter’s Sharesource remote patient management (RPM) digital platform, when used with an automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) system, is associated with a 77% reduction in risk of PD technique failure.
Technique failure can be due to several factors and results in PD patients being switched to in-center dialysis. Additional key data show HDx therapy enabled by Theranova dialyzer provides expanded hemodialysis therapy, which can help reduce annual water consumption by 27% and annual electricity usage by 17%, and associated costs, in comparison with online HDF (hemodiafiltration).
The data assists researchers in further understanding the role that digital capabilities play in helping kidney patients. The highlighted data was presented at ASN: Kidney Week on November 2-5 in Pennsylvania.
