1. A dialysis authentication system, comprising:

  • a sorbent cartridge containing one or more sorbent materials, and a recharger for recharging one or more sorbent materials in the sorbent cartridge;

    at least one authentication component for managing a sorbent-based dialysis system containing data corresponding to at least one of the sorbent cartridge or recharger;

    at least one identifier to read the data of the at least one authentication component; and

    a processor to receive the data from the at least one identifier, wherein the data are processed by the processor for making a determination regarding the at least one of the sorbent cartridge or recharger;

    wherein the data from the authentication component and a patient authentication component are communicated to the processor;

    wherein the processor executes instructions for determining an optimized setting of the dialysis system for a patient regarding the sorbent cartridge or recharger;

    wherein the optimized setting of the dialysis system comprises whether any one of the sorbent cartridge is fully recharged, whether the sorbent cartridge matches the dialysis system, whether settings of the dialysis system are proper for the patient, whether the sorbent cartridge matches a patient prescription, a blood flow rate, sorbent cartridge size, ultrafiltration rate, ultrafiltration profile, and combinations thereof.
