Clear evidence indicates that the health of the natural world is declining globally at rates that are unprecedented in human history. This decline represents a major threat to the health and wellbeing of human populations worldwide. Environmental change, particularly climate change, is already having and will increasingly have an impact on the incidence and distribution of kidney diseases. Increases in extreme weather events owing to climate change are likely to have a destabilizing effect on the provision of care to patients with kidney disease. Ironically, health care is part of the problem, contributing substantially to resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Among medical therapies, the environmental impact of dialysis seems to be particularly high, suggesting that the nephrology community has an important role to play in exploring environmentally responsible health-care practices. There is a need for increased monitoring of resource usage and waste generation by kidney care facilities. Opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of haemodialysis include capturing and reusing reverse osmosis reject water, utilizing renewable energy, improving waste management and potentially reducing dialysate flow rates. In peritoneal dialysis, consideration should be given to improving packaging materials and point-of-care dialysate generation.

绿色肾脏病学。

明确的证据表明,全球自然界的健康状况正在以人类历史上前所未有的速度下降。这种下降是对全世界人口健康和福祉的重大威胁。环境变化,特别是气候变化,已经并且将对肾脏疾病的发生和分布产生越来越大的影响。由于气候变化而导致的极端天气事件的增加可能会给肾脏疾病患者的护理提供不稳定的影响。具有讽刺意味的是,医疗保健是问题的一部分,对资源消耗和温室气体排放做出了重大贡献。在药物疗法中,透析对环境的影响似乎特别高,提示肾病学界在探索对环境负责的保健实践方面可发挥重要作用。需要加强对肾脏护理设施的资源使用和废物产生的监测。减少血液透析对环境的影响的机会包括捕获和再利用反渗透废水,利用可再生能源,改善废物管理并可能降低透析液的流速。在腹膜透析中,应考虑改善包装材料和现场透析液的产生。减少血液透析对环境的影响的机会包括捕获和再利用反渗透废水,利用可再生能源,改善废物管理并可能降低透析液的流速。在腹膜透析中,应考虑改善包装材料和现场透析液的产生。减少血液透析对环境的影响的机会包括捕获和再利用反渗透废水,利用可再生能源,改善废物管理并可能降低透析液的流速。在腹膜透析中,应考虑改善包装材料和现场透析液的产生。
