Adequate or Optimal Dialysis?
A frequent term that is used in the dialysis
industry is adequate dialysis. Lori and Stephen talk to Dr. Raffi Minasian on
how the industry is recognizing that patients need more dialysis to feel better
and improve their quality of life. Dr. Minasian explains some of the benefits of
more dialysis and the barriers health care professionals encounter to be able to
deliver optimal dialysis to their patients.
