Nephros Inc. Exhibits at the XLV ERA-EDTA Congress in Stockholm, Sweden, May 10-13, 2008

NEW YORK, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nephros, Inc. , a medical device company developing and marketing products designed to improve the quality of life for the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patient, while addressing the critical financial and clinical needs of the care provider, today announced that it exhibited at the XLV ERA-EDTA Congress in Stockholm, Sweden.

Independent studies have demonstrated reductions of up to 35% in mortality risk using hemodiafiltration (HDF) therapy in place of other standard hemodialysis therapies. Additionally, reductions in drug requirements, lower morbidity and lower infection rates have been demonstrated in a range of studies substituting hemodiafiltration for hemodialysis.

The Nephros HDF system is designed to remove a range of harmful substances more effectively and more cost-effectively than existing ESRD treatment methods, particularly with respect to substances known collectively as "middle molecules." These molecules have been found to contribute to such conditions as dialysis-related amyloidosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, degenerative bone disease and, ultimately, mortality in the ESRD patient. Nephros's OLpur MD and H2H technologies are currently in pre-approval clinical trials in the U.S.

"Nephros's HDF technology represents a new standard of therapy for ESRD patients," said Norman J. Barta, Chairman and CEO of Nephros. "Our OLpur MD hemodiafilter series and our H2H module technologies are designed to provide a cost-effective and user-friendly means for hospitals and clinics to upgrade to mid-dilution HDF therapy without replacing their current dialysis machines." The Stockholm Congress will include technical presentations addressing various clinical performance advantages of Nephros mid-dilution HDF therapy.
