Project description
Renal dialysis at home
Kidney failure is treated with renal dialysis, a process that filters and purifies the blood from waste products and excess fluid. Conventionally it takes place in a healthcare setting using a dialysis machine. The key objective of the EU-funded CORDIAL project is to clinically validate a new peritoneal dialysis (PD) system that is portable and can be used at home or at work. It continuously circulates and regenerates dialysate in the peritoneal cavity achieving an improved blood purification in comparison to conventional devices. Moreover, it does not require high glucose concentrations that damage the peritoneal membrane. CORDIAL will test this novel PD system in patients at home and compare it with devices currently in the market.
