Dialyze Direct Supports World Kidney Day and Raises Awareness of Improved Kidney Care for Geriatric Patients in Skilled Nursing Facilities

On World Kidney Day, to support the theme of “Bridge the Knowledge Gap to Better Kidney Care,” Dialyze Direct, the nation’s leading provider of home hemodialysis services in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), joins the nephrology and diabetes communities in raising awareness about improved dialysis for geriatric patients.

“Our mission is to lead the way in offering unparalleled kidney care for geriatric patients by healing both people and systems”

“Our mission is to lead the way in offering unparalleled kidney care for geriatric patients by healing both people and systems,” said Josh Rothenberg, President and Co-Founder of Dialyze Direct. “Our innovative dialysis within SNFs not only improves patients’ quality of life by returning to them opportunities to enjoy living but also allows individuals in our care to no longer be defined by their disease.”

Dialyze Direct was founded on the belief that dialysis is not a one-size-fits-all care regimen; rather, each patient deserves treatment tailored to their individual needs. Working from “dens” within SNFs, skilled nurses administer a dialysis regimen, pursuant to the physician’s order, best suited for each patient. In the SNF ESRD population, more frequent dialysis consistently outperforms the conventionally performed, thrice-weekly treatment.

Dialyze Direct’s proprietary more frequent dialysis regimen has proven to create better outcomes for elderly patients. For example, most feel better both during and after their dialysis. They recover more quickly, often in as little as 30 to 60 minutes, as opposed to conventional dialysis, which could take up to eight or more hours. Patients also have more energy to participate in other necessary rehabilitation and may take fewer medications.

According to a World Kidney Day Steering Committee report, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing. The International Society of Nephrology estimated in 2019 that 850 million people suffer from a kidney disorder. Up to one in 10 adults have irreversible and progressive CKD. If CKD is uncontrolled and complications result, CKD can progress to a point where dialysis therapy is essential. At that point, dialysis can subsume a person’s entire life. Dialyze Direct furnishes a progressive alternative.

“Today in SNFs across the United States, our patients are receiving hemodialysis in their home environment by skilled professionals treating a person, not just a disease,” said Rothenberg. “They didn’t have to travel hours to and from a clinic to get care. In most cases an hour after treatment, they feel well enough to engage in other activities or visit with family or friends. We hope they find joy today that they would not have otherwise experienced. And we envision a world in which many, many other CKD sufferers soon have the same opportunity.”
