Team-Based Kidney Care
Managing kidney disease often requires more than medical treatment alone. At Cone Health, your nephrologist works closely with a multidisciplinary team that may include nurse specialists, dialysis coordinators, educators, dietitians, social workers and care managers.
Together, we help you understand your condition, navigate treatment decisions, manage symptoms, make healthy lifestyle changes and access the support services you need throughout your care journey.
Dialysis
If dialysis becomes part of your treatment plan, Cone Health offers comprehensive dialysis services and ongoing support to help you maintain your health and independence.
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis removes waste and excess fluid from your blood using a dialysis machine and specialized filter. Depending on your needs, treatment may be provided in a dialysis center or at home.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen to filter waste from your blood. This option is often performed at home and may offer greater flexibility for some patients.
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)
CRRT is a specialized form of dialysis used in the intensive care unit (ICU) for critically ill patients experiencing acute kidney failure. This therapy runs continuously and is designed to be gentler on the body than traditional dialysis.
No matter which treatment is right for you, our kidney care team closely monitors your progress and works with you to manage your condition and achieve the best possible outcomes.
