We provide inpatient hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy, peritoneal dialysis and therapeutic plasma exchange for chronic and acute renal patients and other conditions as considered appropriate by nephrologists.
A Nephrologist with facility privileges will order treatments where services are offered. The Nephrologist's orders will be completed per the contracted facility's policy and procedure.

- Critical illnesses which require acute/maintenance HD, TPE and/or PD.
- Other conditions as considered appropriate by the Nephrologist.

A portable treatment may be provided when necessary, for acuity. RPNT Acute Services, Inc. provides staff, equipment, and dialysis related supplies. The contracted facility provides routine patient care supplies and transportation of patient to and from the Hemodialysis Unit.
