Quality of Care

When kidneys fail, either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis is necessary to remove waste products from the blood. Before patients with kidney failure can start regular hemodialysis opens a new tab, a site on the body has to be created through which blood can be removed and returned during dialysis (vascular access opens a new tab).

  • Rate of transfusions: As Expected
    Patients with anemia require blood transfusions if their anemia is not managed well by their dialysis center.
  • Preventing bloodstream infections: Worse than Expected
    Hemodialysis treatment requires direct access to the bloodstream, which can be an opportunity for germs to enter the body and cause infection.
  • Frequency of hospital admission: As Expected
  • Frequency of hospital readmission: As Expected
  • Frequency of patient death: As Expected
