Information and resources found on this website are dedicated to helping facilities gain a better understanding of the potential benefits of On-Site Hemodialysis in a Post-Acute Care environment.
Patients and providers should review the following information carefully to decide whether home hemodialysis with NxStage systems is right for them.
Users may not experience the reported benefits of home, more frequent or nocturnal hemodialysis with the NxStage systems.
The NxStage systems require a prescription for use.
If a doctor prescribes more frequent home hemodialysis, vascular access is exposed to more frequent use which may lead to access related complications, including infection of the site. Doctors should evaluate the medical necessity of more frequent treatments and discuss the risks and benefits of more frequent therapy with users.
Patients and providers are encouraged to contact their state regulators to discuss state-specific regulations that may impact dialysis in the Post Acute Care setting.
