Is PD with RPM a preferred choice during Covid-19?

Patients with kidney failure have immune dysfunction, which puts them among the highest-risk population for contracting viral infections, such as COVID-19. Supporting their ability to socially distance themselves during the pandemic is of great importance.

During this unprecedented time, we are working with healthcare professionals, local authorities and global nephrology societies to support guidelines on how to keep peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients safe at home.

COVID-19 is changing the face of dialysis and digital health. The latest webinar in our global series features leading international guest speakers on how this pandemic has impacted home dialysis and the future of remote patient management. The panel explores their experiences of managing dialysis programs during this pandemic and provides insights into opportunities for remote patient management to keep patients safe now and in the future.
