Carbon Emissions From Different Dialysis Modalities: A Life Cycle Assessment

As the health impacts of climate change intensify, the healthcare sector faces growing pressure to minimize its carbon footprint. Achieving this goal requires understanding of the carbon impact of widely used medical treatments. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the carbon footprints of in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
