Service · Supportive

The medicines kidney patients actually need.

IV iron, EPO, albumin, and transfusions under nephrologist supervision — the supportive therapies that turn surviving into living well.

What it is

Why dialysis alone isn't enough.

Dialysis cleans your blood. But living well on dialysis requires more: enough red cells to carry oxygen, enough iron to make them, enough albumin to keep your blood pressure and immunity stable, and the right transfusions when anaemia is severe.

Most dialysis centres send patients to hospital infusion centres for all of this. It means extra appointments, extra waiting, extra cost, and worst of all — the dialysis team and the infusion team don't talk.

At Renacare, we deliver infusions and transfusions in-house, under the same nephrologist looking after your dialysis. Iron in the morning, dialysis in the afternoon, all under one roof. Albumin and FFP for those who need them. Day-care, supervised, safe.

"A dialysis patient shouldn't have to be a hospital tourist. We bring the infusions to the dialysis chair."
Infusion & Transfusion Care
How we do it differently

Same team. Same chair. Same record.

Supportive care should be invisible, not exhausting.

IV iron, properly

Carboxymaltose, sucrose, isomaltoside

We use modern IV iron formulations — high-dose, well-tolerated, single-visit infusions. No more dragging out 5-visit courses of older products.

EPO dosing, by labs

Hemoglobin and iron, not formulas

EPO is dosed by your haemoglobin trend and iron stores — not by a centre's protocol from 2010. Result: stable haemoglobin, fewer transfusions, lower cost.

Albumin, when indicated

For real hypoalbuminaemia

Albumin is given for documented hypoalbuminaemia with clinical effect — not as a routine top-up. We follow international guidelines, not local habit.

Transfusions, under supervision

Safe, screened, monitored

Blood transfusion when haemoglobin and clinical signs require it. Crossmatched, screened, given with nephrologist supervision and emergency cover.

What to expect

Day-care, on your schedule.

Most infusions are done in 1–3 hours, often during or alongside dialysis.

01

Indication & blood work

Nephrologist reviews labs and confirms the right product and dose. Pre-infusion checks: BP, haemoglobin, allergy history.

02

Access & prep

Existing fistula, catheter, or peripheral cannula used. Pre-medications where needed (iron formulations rarely need them with modern products).

03

Infusion

Slow, supervised infusion. Vitals every 15–30 minutes. Most iron infusions take 30–60 minutes; albumin and transfusions longer.

04

Observation & discharge

30-minute post-infusion observation. Most patients are home the same day, on their normal schedule. Follow-up labs at the next dialysis visit.

Frequently asked

Questions worth asking.

Before you start a treatment anywhere — these are the questions to ask. We've answered ours.

Can I get my iron infusion during dialysis?
Often yes. Many iron products can be given through the dialysis circuit. Where the product needs a slower or separate infusion, we coordinate it the same day.
How do I know if my EPO dose is right?
Your haemoglobin should sit in a stable target range (usually 10–11.5 g/dL for dialysis patients) without big swings. We check monthly and adjust your dose by your trend, not a fixed protocol.
Is blood transfusion safe in dialysis patients?
Yes, with proper screening and slow administration. We avoid unnecessary transfusions because they can affect future transplant compatibility. When you truly need one, it's done under nephrologist supervision.
Do I need a separate appointment for infusions?
No. We schedule infusion care around your dialysis sessions whenever possible. The whole point is that you shouldn't have to make a separate trip.

Talk to a nephrologist.

Whether you're starting dialysis, switching centres, or just want a second opinion — one conversation tells you everything you need.
