6 February 2021 – “About 40% of dialysis incidence is due to diabetes. Further, in times of a pandemic, as we are currently experiencing, an increasing number of patients are reluctant to visit a clinic or a hospital,” says Guido Grentzmann, the founder and CEO/CSO of Opterion Health AG.
“Therefore, a physiological glucose or glucose-free peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution, which Opterion has in pre-clinical development, is a much-needed innovation, not only for diabetic dialysis patients, but for all dialysis patients who want to improve their quality of life by having their therapy at home,” he continues.
