My Story
Welcome! I created Renal Care from a place of deep, lived understanding. I was first diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (IGAN) at just 14 years old. Now at 40, I've been on dialysis for nearly three years — and my time on peritoneal dialysis gave me an intimate, firsthand understanding of what kidney patients truly need day to day. I know the endless cycle of logging metrics, juggling supplies, remembering medications, and trying to make sense of lab results — because I live it too.
My journey started with CKD and the challenge of monitoring labs to slow disease progression, then moved into the daily reality of dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis, in particular, showed me just how much weight patients carry on their own shoulders — tracking fluid shifts, UF, adequacy, and supply levels, often with little more than a pen and notebook. I knew there had to be a better way to bring it all together.
That realization is what shaped this tool. PD dialysis gave me a deep understanding of what we need as patients and how the right tool can help shape our story — giving clarity, control, and confidence back to the people living it. Whether you're navigating CKD, living on dialysis, or adjusting to life after transplant, every feature has been thoughtfully crafted with real patient needs in mind.
My Mission
My mission is simple: to help kidney patients take control of their health journey with confidence and ease — no matter where they are on the path from CKD to dialysis to transplant. I believe that managing a chronic condition shouldn't feel overwhelming, and that the right tools can make all the difference.
Through this app, I aim to provide:
- CKD tracking for eGFR, creatinine, blood pressure, and lab results to monitor disease progression
- Dialysis session logging for both PD and HD — fluid shifts, UF, adequacy, and dialyzer data
- Transplant monitoring for graft function, immunosuppressant levels, and rejection warning signs
- Automated tools that reduce manual work and human error
- Peace of mind through smart alerts and medication reminders
- A companion that empowers patients to be active participants in their care
