CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / July 10, 2024 / Renalogic, a leading provider of healthcare solutions for self-funded plans and their members dealing with chronic kidney disease (CKD), partnered with Lyfebulb, a patient empowerment platform that develops and operates the online community TransplantLyfe, to survey dialysis patients to gain valuable insights into the firsthand experiences and challenges of managing this chronic illness.

Alarmingly, 62% of dialysis treatments were unplanned, which shows the unpredictability and disruption of CKD. Over half (54%) of patients reported having to stop work while on dialysis and 50% had visited the emergency room or been hospitalized in the past year.

“Dialysis patients face immense physical, emotional and logistical challenges in managing their condition,” said Kevin Weinstein, CEO of Renalogic. “By partnering with Lyfebulb to amplify the perspectives of this patient community, we aim to drive meaningful changes that enhance the dialysis experience and clinical outcomes.”

The survey is summarized in a report that covers a range of topics, including:

“We were pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Renalogic on this survey to tap into our community and dig into the impact of dialysis on the patients who are undergoing treatment,” stated Karin Hehenberger, President of Lyfebulb and Chief Medical Officer of Patient Care America. “While we know that dialysis is truly life-saving and necessary for survival for many, we also know that we can do more and better for this community of those living with ESRD.”

Renalogic and Lyfebulb are committed to leveraging these insights to drive meaningful change and enhance the quality of life for the dialysis community. You can access the Dialysis Patient Experience report here.
