A system and a method for tracking patients having renal disease, particularly Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), are provided. The system and method track patients through a common system with multiple healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses and the like, having access to the system and updating the system based on information regarding the care, treatment, diagnosis, therapy, or the like provided to the patients. The system and method interface with remote machines and supply chains by a modem, via the internet or by wireless devices. The system and method provide a continuum of care for renal patients, i.e., CKD, peritoneal dialysis (PD), home hemodialyis (HHD), in-center hemodialysis and transplant within a single database associated with the system. The system and method track the access information of PD patients and/or HD patients. Specifically, the system and method track access placement, infections, non-infection related problems, medications and hospitalizations. The system and method may track PD and HD information in one comprehensive module. |
