Renephro develops patented technology for personalized dialysis treatments by enabling individual adjustment of the dialysis fluid composition. This system improves patient tolerance and reduces complications while streamlining logistics by replacing numerous standard formulations with a few base recipes. The advanced platform supports the development of digitally tailored therapies within the field of hemodialysis.

Problem
Standard hemodialysis relies on a limited set of pre‑mixed dialysis fluid formulations, which cannot be tailored to each patient’s electrolyte needs. This one‑size‑fits‑all approach often leads to reduced treatment tolerance, higher incidence of complications, and complex inventory management for providers.
Solution
Renephro provides a patented mixing module that dynamically adjusts the composition of dialysis fluid at the point of care. By allowing precise, patient‑specific control of potassium and calcium concentrations, the system enhances biocompatibility and reduces adverse events during treatment. The technology consolidates dozens of conventional formulations into four base recipes, simplifying logistics and lowering storage costs. Integrated with digital dosing software, the platform enables clinicians to generate and apply individualized therapy protocols quickly and safely. Compatibility with existing dialysis machines ensures seamless adoption without major equipment upgrades.
Target Audience
The primary customers are dialysis centers and hospital nephrology departments seeking to improve patient outcomes, as well as dialysis fluid manufacturers looking to offer personalized therapy solutions.
