Baxter to Present Significant Data at ERA-EDTA 2017 to Help Advance New Standards of Renal Care
Baxter will present 17 abstracts on new in-centre and home dialysis data
Baxter to sponsor three industry innovation symposia, presented by global leaders on HDx therapy, telehealth in home dialysis and acute therapy
DEERFIELD, Ill. -
Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX), a global innovator in renal care, announced today that it will make significant contributions to the scientific exchange at the 54th Congress of the European Renal Association and European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA), Madrid, June 3-6. Baxter will present 17 abstracts highlighting data aimed at improving end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patient care in both in-centre haemodialysis (ICHD) and home peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Key findings to be presented during the conference include data demonstrating the high performance of Baxter’s new haemodialysis therapy, HDx therapy enabled by the THERANOVA dialyser. Baxter also will present new data on the positive impact for patients and renal clinics of its SHARESOURCE remote patient management platform for use with the HOMECHOICE CLARIA automated PD (APD) system.
“Baxter continues to advance renal therapies like HDx and telehealth technologies to help ESRD patients have access to new standards of dialysis care,” said Dheerendra Kommala, M.D., vice president, Medical Affairs, Baxter. “We are committed to robustly contributing to scientific exchange at important conferences like ERA-EDTA, in hopes of sharing our learnings and inspiring better outcomes for patients globally.”

Baxter-sponsored industry innovation symposia:
• Advancing Renal Therapies through HDx (expanded haemodialysis): The international faculty will discuss the importance of efficient removal of large middle molecules, and the research indicating the potential role of those molecules in cardiovascular disease and inflammation risks for ICHD ESRD patients. Sunday, June 4; 13:45–14:45; Hall 10.
• Long-term Dialysis Dependence after Acute Kidney Injury: The Health-Economic Impact
The international speakers will discuss recent data showing the difference between initial use of intermittent renal replacement therapy (RRT) and the use of continuous RRT, including the economic implications of non-recovery from AKI and long-term dialysis dependence. Sunday, June 4; 18:45–19:45; Hall N107–108.
• Remote Patient Management (RPM) in Home Dialysis: Changing the Paradigm of Care:
The international faculty will discuss the applicability and current experience of RPM (telehealth) for the home PD population, and prospects for improved access and outcomes. Monday, June 5; 13:45–14:45; Hall N103–104.
