Medium cutoff (MCO) membranes have resulted in a novel dialyzer class designed to improve membrane permeability and have been postulated as an alternative to online hemodiafiltration since MCO membranes may achieve similar solute clearances. These membranes have been incorporated into clinical practice, and the term expanded HD (HDx) has been proposed to differentiate from high‐flux hemodialysis. Efficacy, safety, and quality of life comparison of HDF versus HDx have been reviewed in this article.
