WCN24-1278 Climate change, kidney care, and sustainability: A KAP survey of health professionals

2024Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Climate change is having quantifiable and increasingly negative impacts on human health and people living with kidney disease are uniquely vulnerable. In addition, the care of people with kidney diseases is a major contributor to climate change and waste generation, particularly care delivered for those on dialysis. While there are increasing calls from leading nephrology organizations to make nephrology care sustainable, we (International Society of Nephrology Emerging Leaders Program [ISN-ELP] cohort 2) conducted a scoping review and noted a dearth of data capturing the perspectives of healthcare professionals (HCPs).
