Overview

A renal dialysis center, sometimes referred to as a dialysis center, is a hospital-based or independent facility approved and licensed to provide outpatient dialysis services. Dialysis is a lifesaving treatment for those with chronic kidney failure, which is achieved by cleansing the blood as healthy kidneys would. Dialysis centers have staff members that include registered nurses, certified chronic hemodialysis technicians, a renal dietitian and a renal social worker, all under the direction of a dedicated medical director. 

The following are the top Dialysis providers in the Nation: Fresenius Medical Care, DaVita Inc., Dialysis Clinic, Inc., U.S. Renal Care, Inc., Satellite Healthcare, and Baxter International, Inc. There are approximately 200 dialysis centers within Los Angeles County.
