Abstract

The Korean Society of Nephrology has embraced the principle of "Green Nephrology" and launched campaigns addressing environmental sustainability in kidney care. These include initiatives to monitor resource usage, reduce waste generation in treatment facilities, and minimize dialysis-related environmental effects. The Society aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of kidney disease and its treatments while emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. Collaboration between health authorities and related academic societies is planned for the development of national strategies. The Special Committee on Sustainable Renal Treatment published the "Sustainable Kidney Care Recommendations," which provides guidelines for efficient measures to reduce the environmental footprint of dialysis. This effort aims to inspire systematic, practical, and sustainable healthcare solutions.

可持续肾脏护理的立场声明和建议。

韩国肾脏学会接受了“绿色肾脏学”的原则，并在肾脏护理中开展了环境可持续性运动。这些措施包括监测资源使用情况、减少处理设施产生的废物以及尽量减少与透析有关的环境影响。该协会旨在提高人们对肾脏疾病及其治疗对环境影响的认识，同时强调可持续做法的重要性。计划在卫生当局和相关学术团体之间开展合作，以制定国家战略。可持续肾脏治疗特别委员会发布了“可持续肾脏护理建议”，为减少透析的环境足迹提供了有效措施的指导方针。这项工作旨在激发系统、实用和可持续的医疗保健解决方案。

期刊介绍： Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology; ISSN 1975-9460, launched in 1982), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. Its ISO abbreviation is Kidney Res Clin Pract. To provide an efficient venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal offers open access (free submission and free access) and considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridging laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Topics covered include basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Original researches from areas of intervention nephrology or dialysis access are also welcomed. Major article types considered for publication include original research and reviews on current topics of interest. Accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles to facilitate access to a broad readership.
