Expert ICU Dialysis Program
Running an ICU dialysis program in-house strains resources and staff. KidneyCare provides comprehensive CRRT, SLED, and acute HD services with dedicated specialists who work seamlessly with your critical care team.
Our ICU Dialysis Capabilities
The ICU Dialysis Challenge
Managing dialysis in the ICU is complex, resource-intensive, and often pulls focus from other critical care priorities
CRRT Complexity
CRRT requires 24-hour nursing coverage, specialized training, and constant troubleshooting. Filter changes, anticoagulation management, and electrolyte monitoring demand significant resources.
Staffing Burden
ICU nurses already stretched thin can't dedicate 1:1 attention to CRRT patients. Recruiting and retaining dialysis-trained nurses for ICU is increasingly difficult.
Equipment & Supplies
CRRT machines are expensive to purchase and maintain. Keeping adequate supplies (filters, solutions, access kits) requires careful inventory management.
Coverage Gaps
Nights, weekends, and holidays create coverage challenges. When your nephrologist is unavailable, who manages the CRRT prescription?
