Effectiveness of combination of heat water disinfection, continuous water circulation, and minimalized dead space for dialysis piping in maintaining ultrapure dialysis fluid and preventing biofilm formation in a central dialysis fluid delivery system

The healthcare system and particularly renal replacement therapy has a significant carbon footprint adding to global warming and extreme weather conditions. Improving sustainability has become the focus of national and international working groups. Many reviews underline the need for improvement of sustainability in nephrology, in particular dialysis, and provide recommendations on how to reduce waste, energy, and water consumption. However, how to implement these recommendations, and where to start, is not always clear. This paper summarizes discussions within the ‘working group on sustainable nephrology’ of the Swiss Society of Nephrology. We do not provide a detailed review of the topic but instead present a practical 10 points action plan to help health care workers in nephrology make a start and improve the carbon footprint of their dialysis centers. We emphasize the importance of ongoing research, cooperation and dialogue and welcome additional ideas from the wider renal community.
