PROXY STATEMENT
---------------------

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
JUNE 30, 1998

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and
Proxy Card are being furnished to stockholders of Renex Corp., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by
the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Company's 1998 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 10:00 A.M., local
time, on June 30, 1998 at the Coral Gables Hyatt, 50 Alhambra Plaza, Coral
Gables, Florida, and at any and all postponements or adjournments thereof, for
the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting, and the accompanying Proxy
Card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about May 6, 1998 to all
stockholders of record as of May 4, 1998. At the annual meeting, stockholders
will be asked to elect three Class II directors, approve an amendment to the
Company's Employee Stock Option Plan and to vote on such other matters as may
properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Because many of the Company's stockholders are unable to attend the Annual
Meeting in person, the Board of Directors solicits proxies by mail to give each
stockholder an opportunity to vote on all matters that will come before the
Annual Meeting. Stockholders are urged to:

(1) Read this Proxy Statement carefully;

(2) Specify their choice on each matter by marking the appropriate box
on the enclosed Proxy Card; and

(3) Sign, date and return the Proxy Card in the enclosed envelope.

If Proxy Cards are returned properly signed, the shares represented thereby
will be voted by the persons named in the Proxy Card, or their substitute, in
accordance with the stockholder's directions. If the Proxy Card is signed and
returned without instructions marked on it, it will be voted FOR the nominees
for Class II directors listed on the Proxy, FOR the amendment to the Employee
Stock Option Plan and as recommended by the Board of Directors with respect to
any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. A
stockholder must return a signed Proxy Card to permit the proxy holders to vote
the shares owned by such stockholder.

A stockholder granting a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the
Annual Meeting by giving written notice of its revocation to the Company, by
submission of another duly executed proxy dated after the Proxy Card to be
revoked, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The mere
presence at the Annual Meeting by a stockholder who has appointed a proxy will
not revoke the prior appointment.

The Board of Directors has designated James P. Shea and Arthur G. Shapiro
and each or either of them, as proxies to vote the shares of common and
preferred Stock solicited on its behalf.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 4, 1998 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and
any adjournment thereof. On the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding
6,977,372 shares of common stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"). Each
stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock registered in
his name on the Record Date for each matter brought before the stockholders at
the Annual Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the
Common Stock entitled to vote is required for a quorum at the Annual Meeting. In
determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, all votes "for" or
"against," as well as
4

abstentions, will be counted. Broker non-votes will also be counted as present
or represented for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for
the transaction of business.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes, having
three year terms that expire in successive years. The term of office of Class II
directors expires at the 1998 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors proposes
that the nominees described below, all of whom are currently serving as Class II
directors, be re-elected as Class II directors for a new term of three years and
until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, except in the
event of their earlier death, resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has
consented to serve a three year term. The Company has no reason to believe that
any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve, if elected. If any
nominee should become unavailable prior to the election, the accompanying Proxy
Card will be voted for the election in his stead, of such other person as the
Board of Directors may recommend.

Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company and its
subsidiaries; reviews, approves and establishes performance targets and awards
under incentive compensation plans for its executive officers; and reviews and
approves employment agreements. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee also
administers the Company's Employee Stock Option Plan and has the authority to
determine, among other things, to whom to grant options, the amount of options,
the terms of options and the exercise prices thereof.

AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee, composed of Messrs. Simons and
Watson, met two (2) times in 1997. The principal duties of the Audit Committee
are to recommend the appointment of independent auditors; to meet with the
Company's independent auditors to review the arrangements for, and scope of, the
audit and the fees related to such work; to review the independence of the
independent auditors; to consider the adequacy of the system of internal
accounting controls; to review and monitor the Company's policies regarding
conflicts of interest; and to discuss with management and the independent
accountants the Company's annual financial statements.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION. None of the
members of the Board's Compensation and Stock Option Committee is, or has been,
an officer or employee of the Company.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Company's officers and directors are required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Section 16(a) of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. Based solely on a review of such reports
furnished to the Company as required by Rule 16(a)-3, no director or executive
officer failed to timely file such reports in 1997.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
"FOR" THE ELECTION OF ALL THE NOMINEES.

The three nominees for Class II receiving the greatest number of
affirmative votes of the shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual
Meeting will be elected as Class II directors. Stockholders are not entitled to
cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Proxies received by the
Board of Directors will be so voted in favor of all Class II nominees above,
unless stockholders specify a contrary choice in their proxies.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

In April 1997, the Company entered into two year employment agreements with
James P. Shea, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Orestes
L. Lugo, Vice President -- Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The employment
agreements provide for base salaries of $190,000 and $155,000 for Mr. Shea and
Mr. Lugo, respectively. Base salary for each officer is increased on the
anniversary of each year during the term by a minimum of 6%. Each officer
receives an automobile allowance and certain other non-cash benefits, including
life, health and disability insurance. Each employment agreement is
automatically renewed for two years at the end of the initial term and each
extended term, unless either party provides notice of termination at least 90
days prior to the expiration of such term. If either officer is terminated
without cause during the term of their respective agreements, such officer will
be entitled to severance equal to the greater of the remaining base salary due
under the agreement or one year's base salary.

Both Mr. Shea and Mr. Lugo are entitled to receive bonuses in each fiscal
year during the term of their agreements. Such agreements require the Board of
Directors to establish incentive bonus plans for each fiscal year which would
provide a means for each officer to earn a bonus up to 100% of their respective
base salaries upon the achievement of established goals and criteria.

The respective employment agreements grant to each of Mr. Shea and Mr. Lugo
the right to terminate his employment agreement within 90 days following a
"change of control," and to receive an amount equal to the greater of: (i) base
salary due for the remainder of the term of the agreement had it not been
terminated; or (ii) two years base salary. Such change of control severance is
payable 50% in cash on the effective date of such termination, with the balance
payable over a six month period. For the purposes of the employment agreements,
"change of control" is defined as: (i) the acquisition, other than from the
Company directly, by any person, entity or group, within the meaning of Section
13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), of
beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Stock; (ii) if the
individuals who serve on the Board as of the date of the employment agreement,
no longer constitute a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however,
any person who becomes a director subsequent to such date, who was elected to
fill a vacancy by a majority of the individuals then serving on the Board, shall
be considered as if a member prior to such date; (iii) approval by a majority of
the voting Stock of the Company of a merger, reorganization or consolidation
whereby the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such approval do
not, immediately after consummation of such reorganization, merger or
consolidation own more than 50% of the voting Stock of the surviving entity; or
(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

Employee Plan

The Company's 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan ("Employee Plan") is designed
as an incentive program to cause employees to increase their interest in the
Company's performance and to attract and retain qualified personnel. Subject to
certain anti-dilution provisions, the Employee Plan consists of 666,667 shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options which may be
granted, including 538,311 shares subject to outstanding options.

The Employee Plan is administered by the Compensation and Stock Option
Committee. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee has the discretion, among
other things, as to whom to grant options, the amount of options, the terms of
options and the exercise prices. All employees of the Company are eligible to
receive options under the Employee Plan. Such employees are eligible to receive
either "incentive" or "nonqualified" Stock options, subject to the limitations
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The exercise
price of an incentive Stock option may not be less than 100% of the market price
of the underlying Common Stock as of the date of grant. No option may be granted
which has a term longer than 10 years. Stock options may have vesting
requirements as established by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee, but,
except in the case of an employee's death or permanent disability, in no event
may the options be exercisable until six months after grant. All vested options
under the Employee Plan become immediately vested in full upon a change of
control of the Company, as such term is defined in the Employee Plan.

Upon termination of an optionee's employment with the Company for any
reason, all options granted to such employee under the Employee Plan would
terminate immediately, except that the Compensation and Stock Option Committee
has the discretion to permit such holder to exercise vested options for a period
of 90 days after termination. Options granted under the Employee Plan may not be
transferred and are not exercisable except by the employee.

The Employee Plan provides for the automatic grant of "reload" options to
an employee, who pays all or a portion of an exercise price by delivery of
shares of Common Stock then owned by such employee. Reload options are granted
for each share of Common Stock so tendered. The exercise price of such reload
option is the then fair market value of the Common Stock. All other terms of the
reload options would be identical to the original options; provided, however,
that if the expiration date is less than one year, the expiration date is
extended to one year from the date of issuance of the reload options.

As of April 23, 1998, options to purchase a total of 538,311 shares of
Common Stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $6.67, have been granted
to executive officers and other employees of the Company. Each option granted
has a term of five years. Options are not exercisable until six months after the
date of grant and vest 25% at the end of six months and 25% on each anniversary
of such grant until 100% are vested.

Directors Plan

The Company has established a Directors Stock Option Plan ("Directors
Plan"). Subject to certain anti-dilution provisions in the Plan, there are
166,667 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
options which may be granted pursuant to the Directors Plan, including 36,524
shares subject to outstanding options. All non-employee directors are eligible
to receive grants of options ("Eligible Directors"). Each Eligible Director
receives automatic, non-discretionary grants of options based upon specific
criteria set forth in the Directors Plan. On April 27 of each year, each
Eligible Director receives non-qualified options to purchase 834 shares of
Common Stock for service on the Board of Directors and additional options to
purchase 334 shares for service on each committee of the Board, other than the
Executive Committee, for which members would receive options to purchase 834
shares. Also, additional options to purchase 334 shares are granted to Eligible
Directors who serve as a chairman of each standing committee of the Board, other
than the chairman of the Executive Committee, who would receive options to
purchase 834 shares.

The exercise price of each option granted under the Directors Plan is equal
to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined
in accordance with the provisions of the Directors Plan. All options granted
have a term of five years, but, except in the case of an Eligible Director's
death or permanent disability, are not exercisable until six months after the
date of grant. No option is transferable by the Eligible Director, except by the
laws of descent and distribution. If the Eligible Director's membership on the
Board terminates, including by reason of death, such options are exercisable for
the lesser of the remaining term of such option, or one year.

The Directors Plan provides for the automatic grant of "reload" options to
an Eligible Director, who pays all, or a portion of, an exercise price by
delivery of shares of Common Stock then owned by such Eligible Director. Reload
options are granted for each share of Common Stock so tendered. The exercise
price of such reload option is the then fair market value of the Common Stock.
All other terms of the reload options, including the expiration date, would be
identical to the original options, provided, however, that if the expiration
date is less than one year, the expiration date is extended to one year from the
date of issuance of the reload options.

As of April 27, 1998, options to purchase 36,524 shares of Common Stock,
with a weighted average exercise price of $6.56 per share, have been
automatically granted to Eligible Directors as a group.

401(k) PLAN

As of January 1997, the Company adopted a tax-qualified employee savings
and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering the Company's employees.
Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may elect to contribute to the
401(k) Plan up to the lesser of 15% of their annual compensation or the
statutorily prescribed annual limit ($9,500 in 1997). The Company matches 25% of
the contributions of employees up to 4% of each employee's salary. All employees
who were employed at December 31, 1997 and new hires who thereafter attain at
least one year's service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan.

The Trustees of the 401(k) Plan, at the direction of each participant,
invest the assets of the 401(k) Plan in designated investment options. The
401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, so that
contributions to the 401(k) Plan, and income earned on the 401(k) Plan
contributions are not taxable until withdrawn. Matching contributions by the
Company are deductible when made.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following report of the Compensation Committee, and the Stock
Performance Graph included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement do not constitute
soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference
into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates
this Report in the Stock Performance Graph by reference therein.

COMPENSATION POLICIES APPLICABLE TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The primary policies of the Compensation Committee governing the
compensation of the Company's executive officers is to establish a relationship
between executive pay and the creation of stockholder value, while motivating
and retaining key employees. The Company's compensation program for executives
consists of three key components: base salary; performance based annual cash
bonuses; and periodic grants of stock options. The Company believes that this
approach best serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders. The base
salary enables the Company to meet the requirements of the highly competitive
environment in the Company's industry, while ensuring that executive officers
are compensated in a way that advances both the short and long term interests of
stockholders. Cash bonuses are intended to award both corporate performance, as
measured by financial results and other quantitative measures and individual
performance based on subjective evaluations. Stock options relate a significant
portion of long-term remuneration directly to stock price appreciation realized
by all of the Company's stockholders.

9
12

Base salaries for the Company's executive officers, as well as changes in
such salaries (other than as required by contracts), are based upon the
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, taking into account such factors
as competitive industry salaries; a subjective assessment of the nature of the
position; the contributions and experience of such officer; and the length of
the officers' service with the Company.

Annual cash bonuses are generally based upon corporate performance and each
individual executive officer's accomplishments within the Company as evaluated
by the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee endeavors to
establish an incentive bonus plan for each fiscal year which sets forth targets
and criteria for the award of cash or other bonuses. The Compensation Committee
awarded cash bonuses to certain of the Company's executive officers based on the
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer in recognition of their individual
performance and the Company's progress and accomplishments, including the
completion of the Company's initial public offering in 1997. The amount of the
cash bonuses awarded to such executive officers was based upon a subjective
evaluation of the importance of the individual's contribution to the Company's
accomplishments.

Bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for
1997 performance were through the issuance of special bonus stock options. The
Committee determined that such a bonus was a more appropriate incentive for such
individuals and in the best interest of the stockholders.

Stock option grants may be made to executive officers upon initial
employment, upon promotion to a new, higher level position that entails
increased responsibility, in connection with the execution of a new employment
agreement or as further incentive to such executive officers. In determining the
number of stock options to be granted, the Compensation Committee reviews the
current option holdings of the executive officers; their positions with the
Company; length of service and subjective criteria on performance and determines
the number of options to be granted based upon the principle of rewarding
performance and providing continuing incentives to contribute to stockholder
value. Using these guidelines, the Chief Executive Officer recommends to the
Compensation Committee the number of options to be granted. Options generally
vest over a three year period.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

James P. Shea has been the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
since August 1993. In recognition of his service and commitment to the past and
future success of the Company and to secure his services for the future, the
Company entered into an employment agreement in April 1997 which provided for a
base salary of $190,000 and minimum annual increase. In establishing the base
salary, the Compensation Committee reviewed salaries of the chief executive
officers of comparable companies within its industry, as well other industries,
and Mr. Shea's responsibilities within the Company. Factors taken into
consideration included a subjective evaluation of Mr. Shea's performance,
changes in the cost of living, competitors' size and performance and the
Company's achievements.

Mr. Shea's employment agreement provides for the right to earn annual cash
bonuses of up to 100% of his annual base salary based upon incentive bonus
criteria established by the Compensation Committee in each fiscal year in its
discretion. The Compensation Committee used the same criteria described above
for the determination of Mr. Shea's bonus. No cash bonus was awarded to Mr. Shea
in 1997. In lieu thereof, the Compensation Committee determined to award Mr.
Shea special bonus stock options to enhance his incentive to improve stockholder
value.

Mr. Shea received options to purchase 33,334 shares of common stock in
1997, and options to purchase 16,174 shares of common stock were granted in
February 1998 as a bonus based upon the subjective criteria discussed above,
including the Company's performance in 1997.

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PACKAGES

In response to the increase in merger and acquisition activities in recent
years within the industry and to provide the Company's executive officers with
further incentive to remain with the Company, the Compensation Committee granted
executive severance packages to the Company's executive officers, including the

10
13

Chief Executive Officer, protecting them in the event of change of control of
the Company. The Compensation Committee reviewed executive severance packages
granted by those companies whose compensation practices were examined in
connection with determining executive officer salaries as described above. The
Compensation Committee then determined to grant the executive officers severance
packages in varying amounts depending on their relative position with the
Company. The severance packages for the Chief Executive and Financial Officers
are described in their employment agreements discussed above.

IMPACT OF SECTION 162(m) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax
deduction to publicly-held corporations for compensation in excess of $1,000,000
paid for any fiscal year to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the four
(4) other most highly compensated officers. However, the statute exempts
qualifying performance-based compensation from the deduction limit if certain
requirements are met. The policy of the Compensation Committee is to structure
the compensation of the Company's executive officers to avoid the loss of the
deductibility of any compensation, even though Section 162(m) does not preclude
the payment of compensation in excess of $1,000,000. Notwithstanding, the
Compensation Committee reserves the authority to award non-deductible
compensation in circumstances as it deems appropriate. The Company believes that
Section 162(m) will not have any effect on the deductibility of the compensation
of any executive officer for 1997 or 1998.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

On April 22, 1998, the Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of
its Compensation and Stock Option Committee, adopted an amendment (the "Employee
Plan Amendment") to the Company's 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Employee
Plan"). The Employee Plan Amendment must be approved by holders of a majority of
the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting.

The Employee Plan Amendment increases from 666,667 to 1,000,000, the
authorized shares of Common Stock reserved under the Employee Plan. As of April
22, 1998, options to purchase 538,311 shares of Common Stock were outstanding
under the Employee Plan. The increase in the number of reserved shares will
allow the Company to grant additional options pursuant to the Employee Plan. The
Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that there is a continuing
need, and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,
to make stock related awards to officers and other employees so that the Company
will be able to attract and retain highly qualified individuals.

All other terms and conditions of the Employee Plan will remain the same. A
summary of the terms and conditions of the Employee Plan is set forth in the
Proxy Statement under the caption -- "COMPENSATION -- Employee Stock Option
Plans."

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
"FOR" THE AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE PLAN.

The adoption of the Employee Plan Amendment requires the affirmative vote
of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
represented at the Annual Meeting. The Employee Plan Amendment would be
effective immediately upon approval by the Stockholders. The effect of an
abstention or a broker non-vote is the same as a vote against the proposal.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

JCD Partnership, a real estate holding and property management firm, of
which C. David Finch, M.D., Jeffery Finch and Charles D. Finch, Sr. are the
principals, owns the real property and improvements at the Company's dialysis
facilities at Jackson, Mississippi and Delta, Louisiana. JCD Partnership leases
the properties to the Company pursuant to ten year leases, in which the Company
pays annual rent of $92,400 and $82,500, respectively. The Company paid $427,000

C. David Finch, M.D. owed DFI approximately $85,000 at the time of the
Company's acquisition of Dialysis Facilities, Inc. ("DFI") in December 1995.
DFI's acquisition by the Company evidenced by a note. Dr. Finch is obligated to
repay the Company over a three-year period with interest at the rate of 8% per
annum. Such repayments may come from any bonuses Dr. Finch may earn in
connection with his employment as a medical director with the Company. The
balance of the note, if not then paid, will be payable upon demand by the
Company at the end of three years. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
approximately $85,000 in principal remained unpaid, together with accrued
interest of $6,800 and $13,600 as of such dates, respectively.
