Support

Kidney patient support is one of the most important components of overall treatment. Getting the best possible health care requires that all people involved work together - especially the one receiving care! People who have chronic kidney disease have a much better outcome if they are active members of the team.

MEDICAL TEAM encompasses physicians as well as what are known as physician extenders, including certified physician assistants and nurse practitioners. These specialists are well-trained members of the medical community - qualified to provide supplemental support for physicians.
