Sorbent technology for sustainable dialysis

The WEAKID sorbent technology . One heamodialysis treatment requires 120 liters of dialysate based on 350-400 liters of water. Recirculation of dialysate with the use of sorbents, could be interesting to reduce dialysis water consumption. 

Karin Gerritsen presented the innovative ideas during the session 'Moving Toward Sustainable and Greener Dialysis Delivery: Examples from Real World Experience from UMC Utrecht’. 

The KDIGO (Kidney Disease - Improving Global Outcomes) conference with the title "Controversies Conference on Green Dialysis: Environmentally Sustainable Care, Growth and Innovation" was held in Berlin, 25-27th of April, 2025. This conference intended to be forward-looking, appraising novel promising green dialysis technologies both in the present and beyond (Controversies Conference on Green Dialysis: Environmentally Sustainable Care, Growth, and Innovation – KDIGO).
