A Smart Solution

Ingested polymer capsules remove fluid through the gastrointestinal system, replacing machines with a daily oral approach. The dry polymer absorbs excess fluid that would normally be cleared by the kidneys or dialysis, forming a gel that is naturally excreted — completely bypassing the kidneys. Through superabsorbent technology, the three-dimensional molecular structure of the polymer has the potential to be engineered to absorb sufficient fluid to replace dialysis entirely.

Impact and Outcomes

The Cardio Renal Foundation is dedicated to advancing research focused on a fundamentally different approach to fluid removal in the body — one that moves beyond traditional dialysis.

Years of disciplined research and development have brought this specialty polymer technology to a pivotal moment.

What was once exploratory is now substantiated by a growing body of evidence that is measurable and powerful.

Now, you can help us move decisively toward a future where dialysis is no longer the default — but a last resort.

Life-Changing Results

It’s difficult to quantify the profound impact of a new option beyond hemodialysis for people with end stage kidney disease. A new strategy to manage chronic kidney disease at every stage not only would improve health and quality of life for patients. Value would also be created for the healthcare system.

The simplicity and ease of swallowing capsules that are capable of removing the same amount of fluid from the body as a typical dialysis session would be life-changing for anyone whose body no longer manages fluid properly on its own.

Strategy Yields Results

    Improved Choices

    When we achieve positive health outcomes like lowering heart failure classification, reducing cholesterol, controlling weight, and managing blood pressure, we can lessen the likelihood of hospitalizations and provide meaningful quality of life improvements for millions who are affected by cardio renal related diseases.
