St. Louis Kidney Care

What St. Louis Kidney Care does

St. Louis Kidney Care is a private nephrology and dialysis practice serving patients in the St. Louis metropolitan area across five clinical locations in Missouri (Florissant, Festus, Bonne Terre) and Illinois (Granite City, Alton). The practice operates as a subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care within the Fresenius Kidney Care network. Its clinical scope covers the full continuum of chronic kidney disease (CKD) management and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment, including in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis (CCPD and CAPD), kidney transplant coordination, dialysis access procedures (fistula, graft, port, peritoneal catheter), and hypertension management.

The practice is staffed by 8 clinical providers — 6 physicians and 2 advanced practitioners — with fellowship training from Yale, Cornell, UNC, Johns Hopkins/GBMC, St. Louis University, and Ohio University, and subspecialty expertise in ADPKD, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and kidney stones. Patient engagement is supported through EPIC's Acumen 2.0/MyChart patient portal, which provides appointment management, prescription renewals, test-result access, bill payment, and provider messaging. Operating infrastructure includes HIPAA-compliant privacy practices and a secure CCD-based referral intake channel for inbound physician referrals.

Commercially, the practice generates revenue through fee-for-service billing of nephrology consultations, dialysis treatments, and access procedures, reimbursed through commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician referrals (PCPs and specialists) and direct patient inquiries, supplemented by an educational content library on the practice website that functions as a top-of-funnel awareness asset. Specific pricing, collection rates, payer mix, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Products and services

• Kidney Care and Nephrology Services Comprehensive kidney care services focused on managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney stones across multiple locations in Missouri and Illinois, delivered to patients in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area.
• Hemodialysis Blood filtration treatment that extracts blood, passes it through a dialyzer (artificial kidney) to clean and balance it, then returns it to the body. Available both at home and in-center, typically performed 3-5 times per week for 3-4 hours per session.
• Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) At-home dialysis using the peritoneum (abdominal lining) as a natural filter. Includes Continuous Cycler-Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) performed while sleeping via a cycler machine, and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) performed manually by the patient.
• In-Center Dialysis Hemodialysis performed at dialysis centers with clinical staff monitoring, requiring minimal patient training. Typically involves 3 sessions per week lasting 3-4 hours each, available during day or overnight.
• Kidney Transplant Coordination Surgical procedure where patients with end-stage renal disease receive a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor, placed in the abdomen and connected to blood vessels and bladder to restore filtration function. The practice supports transplant evaluation and preparation.
• Dialysis Access Procedures Surgical options for connecting patients to dialysis equipment including fistula (artery-vein connection in arm), graft (artificial tube connection), port (catheter through neck/chest/groin into central vein), and peritoneal catheter (tube into abdomen for PD).

Direct peers

• Satellite Healthcare: Non-profit operator of outpatient dialysis centers and chronic kidney disease programs, primarily on the West Coast but with a comparable mission-driven, outcomes-focused model. Relevant peer for SLKC's focus on patient-centered kidney care and quality-of-life outcomes.
• Innovative Renal Care: Operates a network of outpatient dialysis centers (formerly American Renal Associates) across multiple U.S. markets. Comparable as a multi-site dialysis provider serving similar ESRD patient populations under value-based and traditional reimbursement contracts.
• Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (DCI): Non-profit dialysis provider with a national footprint of outpatient centers and strong emphasis on integrated CKD care. Directly comparable as a kidney-care operator pursuing clinical quality and longitudinal patient management similar to SLKC's model.
• U.S. Renal Care: Mid-sized national dialysis provider operating outpatient centers across multiple states. Directly comparable as a multi-site outpatient dialysis and kidney care operator competing for ESRD patients and nephrology referral relationships, with a similar growth-via-de-novo-and-acquisition model.

Others

• National Kidney Foundation: Major kidney disease advocacy and patient education organization referenced as a partner resource on SLKC's site. Indirectly comparable as an ecosystem participant in CKD/ESRD patient education and referral pathways that complement the practice's clinical services.

Broad incumbents

• Fresenius Medical Care (Fresenius Kidney Care): Parent organization and the world's largest provider of dialysis services and products. SLKC operates within this network, sharing branding, protocols, and IT; broader Fresenius Kidney Care is the relevant peer for the integrated kidney care service model SLKC delivers at a regional scale.
• DaVita: Largest U.S. provider of kidney care and dialysis services, operating thousands of outpatient dialysis centers and integrated nephrology programs. Directly comparable as a national dialysis operator serving ESRD patients, though DaVita is significantly larger and offers a broader corporate footprint than SLKC's regional practice.
