A life cycle assessment of peritoneal dialysis (PD) pathways reveals key environmental hotspots. Incremental PD offers substantial reductions in carbon footprint. Travel for clinic visits is a significant emission source. #SustainableKidneyCare #PeritonealDialysis

Peritoneal dialysis has a significant carbon footprint. A new review offers a practical guide for clinicians on sustainable PD, covering waste reduction, optimizing care pathways, and emerging technologies to lessen environmental impact. #PeritonealDialysis #Sustainability doi.org/10.1177/0896...

PD offers environmental advantages over in-center HD, but opportunities exist for further improvement. This editorial explores strategies like lean resource management and patient-centered care to reduce the environmental footprint of kidney care. #PeritonealDialysis doi.org/10.1177/0896...
