Acute Dialysis Management

We partner with hospitals to provide custom-tailored acute dialysis services for their patients, delivering a higher level of care with personalized and local support at a reduced cost than the large providers.

 

Hemodialysis:

Dialysis is needed if your kidneys no longer remove enough wastes and fluid from your blood to keep you healthy. This usually happens when you have only 10 to 15 percent of your kidney function left.

CRRT/SLED:

Is a form of hemodialysis treatment that takes place over 24 hours. Regular, out-patient dialysis occurs every few days and takes a couple of hours. CRRT/SLED occurs much slower over a 24 hour time period

Apheresis:

The removal of blood plasma from the body by the withdrawal of blood, its separation into plasma and cells, and the reintroduction of the cells, used especially to remove antibodies in treating autoimmune diseases.

Peritoneal dialysis:

Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for kidney failure that uses the lining of the abdomen, or belly, to filter blood inside your body.
