The DaVita dialysis unit at St. Anthony Regional Hospital offers comprehensive medical services for patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients receive a multidisciplinary approach to care from trained professionals, including a nephrologist, certified-dialysis registered nurses, registered dieticians, and social workers. When a patient is referred to DaVita for dialysis, a close contact is maintained with their primary care physician.
Dialysis Services:
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis services are located on the first floor within St. Anthony Regional Hospital in a modern, comfortable area. Patient stations are available, each with a state-of-the-art dialysis machine. The staff of dialysis professionals are able to meet the complex needs of hemodialysis patients as they undergo treatment.
Kidney Transplant Referral
Patients maintained on dialysis or who will require dialysis are potential candidates for kidney transplant surgery if they are in generally good health and other medical problems are well controlled. The nephrologists can refer interested patients to a transplant program for evaluation.
Organ donation is the gift of life. Two kidneys can free two people from a lifetime of dialysis. At St. Anthony, we encourage you to talk to your family and friends about this important issue. For more information about organ donation, contact Social Services, at (712) 794-5248 or, the staff at the Dialysis Unit.
Nephrology Clinic
A nephrologist from Iowa Kidney Physicians is regularly scheduled at St. Anthony for consultations and referrals. The nephrology clinic is located on the second floor, in the visiting specialist clinic area. Appointments can be made by calling St. Anthony Specialty Clinics at (712) 794-5981
