\eldfindx and \hyperpage cannot be nested through
the |-syntax of \index command. But a \hypereldfindx
can be defined:

\newcommand*{\hypereldfindx}[1]{{\bfseries\hyperpage{#1}}}
...\index{#2|hypereldfindx}...

or

\providecommand*{\hyperpage}[1]{#1}
\newcommand*{\eldfindx}[1]{{\bfseries\hyperpage{#1}}}
...\index{#2|eldfindx}...
