Advancing dialysis technology to reduce the impact on global warming

Key takeaways

This is a review article on making dialysis machines and supplies less damaging to the environment, covering water use, plastic waste, and energy. Dialysis uses large amounts of water and disposable material, and the piece discusses designs meant to cut that. It reports no patient results and tests nothing, so there is no evidence here about health outcomes. It is a look at where dialysis technology may be heading.
