Local and Regional Kidney Care
Diabetes and high blood pressure can impact kidney function – and these conditions are on the rise. Specialized kidney care is vital early during the disease, as loss of kidney function cannot be regained. Trust Avera’s nephrology specialists to support and guide you and your loved ones.

Dialysis
Your nephrologist may recommend you receive dialysis as a treatment to remove extra fluid and waste products from your blood when your kidneys aren’t able to. Avera offers a full-range of dialysis services including acute dialysis, chronic in-center hemodialysis and home dialysis – as well as peritoneal and home hemodialysis. Avera Dialysis clinics and experts are available in Sioux Falls and communities across our service area.
Kidney Transplant
If your nephrologist recommends kidney transplant as a course of treatment for end stage renal disease, rest assured that you will be in good hands. Your nephrologist and the Avera Transplant Institute team will guide you through the process of evaluation and eligibility for transplant, the transplant donor list, transplant surgery, recovery and much more.
