Revolutionary Treatment Approaches

QLPD: Reimagining Kidney Care

Our Quality of Life Peritoneal Dialysis offers Bay City residents a gentler, more effective treatment option:

  • The science behind it. Our proprietary sugar-free solution works with your body’s natural filtering system, providing superior care while preserving remaining kidney function longer than traditional methods.
  • Your daily routine. A simple 20-minute process split between evening and morning (10 minutes each) that you can perform one-handed while enjoying your morning coffee or evening news.
  • Connected care. Our exclusive mobile app monitors your health between visits, automatically alerting our nursing team if you need support, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Enhanced Treatment Solutions

  • QLPD Cycler. For patients requiring additional support, this option combines our sugar-free solution with minimal machine assistance. Unlike traditional overnight cyclers, ours works on your schedule with significantly reduced machine dependency.
  • QLHD (Quality of Life Home Hemodialysis). Personalized blood-filtering treatment optimized for home use. We customize frequency and duration based on your specific needs, often requiring fewer treatment sessions than conventional hemodialysis.

FAQs

Can you keep your current nephrologist?

While it’s not our first choice to have you change doctors, QLPD treatments at Premier Dialysis are our specialty, and our doctors are experienced in this prescription model. Other doctors who haven’t been trained in this methodology tend to inhibit the process. For that reason, it’s recommended that you work with our nephrologist.

Will my home be filled with supplies?

Traditional peritoneal dialysis with a cycler (APD) can require up to 40 cases of supplies a month. With QLPD, it’s typically just six compact cases, easily stored in a closet. Our approach is often ideal, even for a small New York City apartment.

Will I get an infection?

Every patient at Premier receives our patent-pending peritoneal dialysis tray, designed for one-handed use and ideal for patients with weakness or low vision. When used properly, our infection rate is just 2.6%, which is significantly lower than the national average of nearly 20%.

How long does QLPD take each day?

QLPD takes approximately 10 minutes in the evening. It works by gravity, and some patients even hang the bag from a ceiling fan for faster flow. In the morning, you can have your coffee while you drain, which takes 10 to 20 minutes. We’ll teach you how to understand your body and adjust as needed.
