Patient Distribution
Anemia Management
| Dialysis patients with Hemoglobin data | 16 |
| Medicare patients who had average hemoglobin (hgb) less than 10 g/dL | 6 |
Dialysis Adequacy
For adult patients on hemodialysis, Kt/V should be at least 1.2 and for peritoneal dialysis at least 1.7; that means they are receiving the right amount of dialysis. For pediatric patients, Kt/V should be at least 1.2 on hemodialysis and 1.8 on peritoneal dialysis.
Higher percentages are better.
- Hemodialysis
| Adult patients getting regular hemodialysis at the center | 88 |
| Adult patient months included in Kt/V greater than or equal to 1.2 | 692 |
- Peritoneal Dialysis
| Adult patients getting regular peritoneal dialysis at the center | 30 |
| Adult patient months included in Kt/V greater than or equal to 1.7 | 219 |
Mineral and Bone Disorder
An important goal of dialysis is to maintain normal levels of various minerals
in the body, such as calcium. This shows the percentage of patients
treated at Davita Lakeland South Dialysis with elevated calcium levels.
| Patients in the hypercalcemia summary | 139 |
| Hypercalcemia patient months | 1088 |
| Patients in the serum phosphorus summary | 148 |
Vascular Access
The arteriovenous (AV) fistula is considered the best long-term vascular access for hemodialysis because it
allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access.
Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
| Patients included in arteriovenous fistula and catheter summaries | 111 |
| Patient months included in arteriovenous fistula and catheter summaries | 886 |
| Percentage of patients getting regular hemodialysis at the center that used an arteriovenous (AV) fistula for their treatment | 41.1 |
| Percentage of patients receiving treatment through a vascular catheter for 90 days or longer | 25 |
