Welcome to the Dialyspa Blog!

We understand that being on dialysis can feel overwhelming and there are a lot of moving parts to manage - and fluid overload is no exception. Because of this, we’ve created a quick guide to help you understand and navigate fluid usage on dialysis - there is even a quick reference guide you can download!

As kidney patients, it is especially important to take action to reduce your risk of exposure. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the following actions to reduce your exposure.

Here we break down the basic things you need to know about dialysis and nutrition including: protein, fluids, sodium, potassium, and phosphorous & phosphate binders.

Tart granny apples, savory crisped bread, and snappy red onions come together in a one sheet treat. There’s a reason why we call this “the good stuff.”

Peppery arugula complimented with feta, onion, olive oil, pepper, and unexpected cranberry makes for a gorgeous and festive holiday salad.

Barley doesn’t have to be boring! Especially when you mix it up with vibrant tomato, onion, zucchini, and olives. Seasoned basil, lemon, chive and voila!

Refreshing and delicious was never simpler! Just a few ingredients makes a revitalizing snack or a zesty side.

Sometimes you just want something savory! A kidney conscious diet doesn’t mean you have to give up your hearty favorites, especially with this satisfying meal of polenta, pork, and spices.

Dialyspa joins the 2016 National Kidney Foundation's Walk in Houston.

Dialyspa joins the 2015 National Kidney Foundation's Walk in Houston.

Dialyspa has been proud to sponsor the NKF’s Houston Kidney Walk for the third straight year in a row!

On February 19, 2013, the Texas Renal Coalition hosted Kidney Day at the Capitol to bring awareness to the Texas Legislature about the public policy needs of kidney patients.

On October 14, 2012, the American Kidney Fund held their Houston Kidney Action Day and walk-at-hon at Discovery Green.

Camp Shining Stars is a camp experience developed by the National Kidney Foundation and staffed by volunteers for children and teens from the ages of 7-17 who have Renal Dysfunction.

The Dialyspa team was out in full force to support the National Kidney Foundation at their annual Houston walk, and the renal community of Houston was too!

According to the Juvenile Diabetes Relief Fund, “more than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults—approximately 80 people per day—are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the U.S.”

Walkers and renal care givers met at Discovery Green on a beautiful morning to walk in support of the American Kidney Fund.

With close to one thousand walk registrants and numerous volunteers, the day was a fun and inspiring fundraiser that brought together families, friends, and the community to support the millions of Americans who have chronic kidney disease.
