Exciting to see the Lyfebulb team at work, connecting with people undergoing dialysis. Dialysis is a necessary life-sustaining treatment for people with kidney failure who do not have access to a kidney transplant. While it is important for extending lives, we should not overlook the challenges that come with this form of treatment. As a clinician, I am always focused on optimizing health and quality of life at every stage of a health journey. Learning from patients is key to making that happen. #dietitian #registereddietitian #dialysis #chronickidneydisease #qualityoflife

Myth ⏩ Patients must buy a dialysis machine to use at home. FACT ⏩ Dialysis clinics will provide the machine and supplies to patients who need them for home use. Help your patients learn more about home dialysis by checking out the resource from the ESRD National Coordinating Center, which busts common myths. https://bit.ly/3sYnBnt #Dialysis #HomeDialysis #KidneyDisease

Of the 135,000 who experienced kidney failure in 2021, 96% started on dialysis. Nearly 400 people do so every day across the country. Earlier this year, a survey was conducted by Lyfebulb and Renalogic to gather insights from individuals who have experience with dialysis. Over 200 people responded. The findings provide invaluable insight into the challenges faced by those receiving dialysis treatment — and its impacts across every aspect of a patient’s life. Outside of the standard twice yearly ICH-CAHPS survey, few attempts have been made to understand the broader dialysis patient experience. As a result, we operate in silent silos— one treatment at a time, three million times a year. This survey is an important reminder of why we are all here. For me at least, it’s a call to action as much as it is a call to reflect on our collective mission to improve peoples’ lives. Well, the people have spoken. We know what needs to done. How will we get there— and who will lead the way? *** Signals From [Space] has the exclusive first look at survey results ahead of the full report release coming later this week.

There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis involves using a machine to filter the blood outside of the body, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter the blood. As for kidney transplant, it involves replacing the damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor. The donor can either be a living person or a deceased donor. However, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone is a candidate for kidney transplant, and some people may have to undergo dialysis for the rest of their lives.

A term that is often used in the dialysis industry is adequate dialysis. In this episode of KidneyTalk Dr. Minasian explains some of the benefits of more dialysis and the barriers HC pros encounter to be able to deliver optimal dialysis to their patients. https://ow.ly/e3q950R2ttJ

Renalogic & Lyfebulb recently surveyed dialysis patients to highlight the challenges associated with this treatment. Our findings revealed that more than 50% of respondents had to cease employment due to complications arising from dialysis. These results underscore the significant impact that dialysis can have on an individual's life. While dialysis is undeniably a life-saving and life-extending treatment, it presents considerable clinical and emotional challenges for patients.
