Service Description
The Chronic Renal Disease Program (CRDP) provides life-saving care and treatment for adults with end-stage renal disease. End-stage renal disease is a condition in which the kidneys no longer function normally. Usually, in end-stage renal disease, the kidneys are functioning at less than 10% of their normal capacity. When this occurs, dialysis (a mechanical process that performs the kidney's work) or a kidney transplant is needed.
The CRDP assists with costs related to:
- Dialysis services
- Renal transplantation
- Medical management
- Inpatient and outpatient service
- Home dialysis supplies and equipment
- Medications
- Limited patient transportation
