The delivery of kidney care, particularly haemodialysis treatment, can result in substantial environmental impact through greenhouse emissions, natural resources depletion and waste generation. However, strategies exist to mitigate this impact and improve long term environmental sustainability for the provision of haemodialysis treatment. The nephrology community has begun taking actions to improve the environmental sustainability of dialysis, but much work remains to be done by healthcare professionals, dialysis providers and professional organisations.
肾脏护理的提供,特别是血液透析治疗,可能会通过温室气体排放、自然资源枯竭和废物产生对环境造成重大影响。然而,确实存在一些策略可以减轻这种影响,并提高血液透析治疗的长期环境可持续性。肾脏病学领域已经开始采取行动来提高透析的环境可持续性,但医疗保健专业人员、透析提供者和专业组织仍有许多工作要做。
