Queens-Long Island Renal Institute (QLIRI), located at The Parker Jewish Institute is pleased to announce the launch of its Home Hemodialysis Program.
>
> QLIRI’s Home Hemodialysis Program allows patients to transition from an in-center setting to receiving hemodialysis from the comfort of their home, using the Tablo Hemodialysis System.
>
> Patients who enroll in the program are first trained by a registered nurse. The nurse provides step-by-step guidance four days a week over the course of four weeks, or longer if necessary. During the training, patients learn how to use the system before they transition to home hemodialysis.
>
> Hemodialysis is a treatment that filters wastes, toxins and excess fluid from the blood for people with failing kidneys. Those needing dialysis can spend three-to-five hours a week, several times a week to receive treatment. QLIRI’s at-home program provides patients the flexibility to access needed care without ever leaving their homes, while also freeing up time to engage in their daily activities.
>
> “We are so pleased to offer our Home Hemodialysis Program at Queens-Long Island Renal Institute. Thanks to this vital program, patients can receive hemodialysis at home within a schedule that fits their lives. It also removes the time, stress and costs of traveling to and from a clinic. And it affords patients the flexibility and opportunity to take part in activities and commitments that are important to them,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, President and CEO of Queens-Long Island Renal Institute.
