Improving quality of life for individuals with kidney failure and end stage renal disease throughout Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Somerset and Union Counties in New Jersey.

The kidneys serve a critical function that keeps the water and minerals in your body and ensures wastes are properly removed from your blood after digestion, muscle activity and exposure to chemicals and medications. Luckily, there are two kidneys to perform this vital function. When kidney damage occurs, it can result in water buildup, high blood pressure and shortness of breath. This all means that renal disorders can be life threatening.

Other complications include:

Many people are not aware that certain drugs and toxins can damage kidneys. Those include:

Renal disorder risk factors include:

The most common form of treatment for kidney disease is dialysis. It is a cumbersome and exhausting process for those forced to undergo it. The patient must receive treatment three times a week for the blood to be cleaned through the dialysis machine. Unfortunately, dialysis is not a long term solution. Sometimes, a kidney transplant can take place if a match is found and a donor is in place. However, often the elderly are not eligible for transplants since kidneys are in short supply and reserved for younger patients.

In-Home Caregivers for Individuals with Renal Disorders

More and more dialysis patients are opting for care in the comfortable surroundings of their home. This is especially the case for the elderly who are often too frail to be moved successfully. David York Agency in-home care providers are able to focus specifically on providing relief involved with care of the dialysis patient. They are monitored by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who understand how to treat their specific symptoms of dialysis patients and improve the quality of the remaining years of life.
