Why KidneyCare

What Sets Us Apart

Not all dialysis providers are created equal. Here's why over 50 hospitals and healthcare facilities trust KidneyCare for their acute dialysis needs.

Our Competitive Advantages

These aren't just features—they're commitments we deliver every day

< 2 Hour Response Time

When emergencies happen, every minute counts. Our rapid-response team deploys equipment and personnel within 2 hours for urgent cases.

24/7/365 Coverage

No weekends off. No holidays. No excuses. Our nephrologists and dialysis nurses are available around the clock, every single day of the year.

All Equipment & Supplies Included

Zero capital investment for your facility. We provide all dialysis machines, CRRT equipment, consumables, and maintenance. You pay for services, not assets.

Board-Certified Nephrologists

Unlike nurse-run services, our programs are led by board-certified nephrologists who personally oversee patient care and treatment protocols.

CRRT Expertise

Many dialysis providers don't offer CRRT. We specialize in continuous renal replacement therapy for your most critically ill ICU patients.

SNF Program Specialists

We offer comprehensive on-site dialysis programs for skilled nursing facilities&mdash;a unique offering that keeps residents in their home facility.

Critical Care

CRRT Expertise That Many Lack

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy requires specialized training, equipment, and protocols that many dialysis providers simply don't offer. Our CRRT program is one of the most comprehensive in Southern California.

  • Specialized CRRT-trained nurses
  • Pre-positioned equipment at partner ICUs
  • Regional citrate anticoagulation protocols
  • Antibiotic dosing guidance during CRRT
  • 24/7 CRRT troubleshooting support
  • Seamless transition from CRRT to intermittent HD

Why CRRT Matters

For hemodynamically unstable patients—those on vasopressors, with sepsis, or post-cardiac surgery—intermittent hemodialysis can cause dangerous blood pressure drops.

CRRT provides gentle, continuous fluid and solute removal over 24 hours, better tolerated by your most critical patients.

The problem: Many dialysis providers don't offer CRRT at all, leaving hospitals scrambling for coverage when ICU patients need it most.

Our solution: Full CRRT capability, 24/7, with equipment pre-positioned at partner facilities for rapid deployment.

Traditional Approach

Most SNF residents requiring dialysis must be transported to outpatient dialysis centers 3 times per week. This creates:

  • Transportation stress on elderly patients
  • Lost nursing time for transport coordination
  • Higher infection exposure risk
  • Missed therapy sessions due to illness

The KidneyCare Difference

We bring dialysis to your SNF. Residents stay in their home environment, reducing stress and improving treatment compliance.

Skilled Nursing Facilities

  • Full equipment setup at your facility
  • Dedicated dialysis nursing staff
  • Nephrologist oversight and rounding
  • Reduced hospitalizations
  • Better resident satisfaction
  • No transport coordination needed

Rapid Response When It Matters Most
