Chronic kidney disease represents one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare systems worldwide, and hemodialysis remains one of the most widely used kidney replacement therapies for patients with advanced kidney disease. In recent years, this field has undergone remarkable progress driven by the introduction of new technologies, the optimization of dialysis techniques, innovations in biomaterials and monitoring systems, and an improved understanding of the factors influencing patient survival and quality of life. These developments have promoted a more precise, safer, and patient-centered approach, supporting the implementation of evidence-based therapeutic strategies tailored to individual needs.

This book provides an up-to-date overview of recent advances in hemodialysis from clinical, technological, and multidisciplinary perspectives. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of current trends, emerging challenges, and opportunities to improve the care of individuals receiving dialysis. The volume brings together contemporary knowledge to support professional development and encourage reflection on the ongoing evolution of hemodialysis, highlighting the importance of innovation, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration in optimizing clinical outcomes. We hope this book will serve as a valuable resource for nephrologists, healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, and students seeking to expand their knowledge and contribute to the ongoing advancement of hemodialysis and the comprehensive care of patients with chronic kidney disease.
