Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem that affects millions of people around the world. One of the most common treatments for this condition is hemodialysis, which involves the removal of uremic toxins from the bloodstream through an extracorporeal system. However, the effectiveness of hemodialysis may be limited by the presence of low molecular weight uremic toxins that are difficult to eliminate using conventional techniques. In recent years, the use of carbonaceous nanomaterials and silicon oxide as adsorbents for removing these toxins has been investigated due to their unique properties of high surface area and adsorption capacity. These materials represent a new and promising class of adsorbents for removing uremic toxins in patients with chronic renal failure, improving the percentage of removal in the blood and increasing patients’ quality of life. This review is a detailed analysis of the most recent advances in using carbonaceous nanomaterials and silicon oxide for removing uremic toxins, as well as the most recent advances in this field, focusing on adsorption mechanisms and removal efficiency.
