Dialysis services provider DSI Renal has acquired five clinics in the Macon, Georgia, area.

Following the deal, terms of which were not disclosed, the Nashville company will operate 17 dialysis clinics in Georgia, which includes plans for a new clinic east of Atlanta.

Kidney Center of Central Georgia will provide the medical directors for the new clinics.
