Item 5.  Other Events

     The Company's board of directors has extended the exercise period 
of its 2,300,000 outstanding common stock purchase warrants (the 
"Warrants") for a period of six months to October 16, 1999 from April 16,
1999.  The Warrants were originally issued in 1996 pursuant to a regis-
tered offering of securities of the Company which included 1,150,000 
shares of its common stock and 2,300,000 Warrants exercisable at $4.50 
per share.  The Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at 
$.10 per Warrant under certain conditions, including a trading price of
$6.75 per share, for 15 consecutive trading days prior to notice of 
redemption.  The closing prices of the common stock and Warrants on 
Friday, March 5, 1999 as reported by Nasdaq were $1.38 and $.219, 
respectively.  The common stock did not trade on Monday, March 8, 1999 
and the closing price of the Warrants on that date was $.25.  The 
Company's securities trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the 
symbols DCAI for the common stock and DCAIW for the Warrants.  In the 
last two years the common stock has not traded at $6.75, and the 
Company does not anticipate redeeming the Warrants.

     Assuming full exercise of the Warrants, the Company would realize 
gross proceeds of approximately $10,350,000, which would be reduced by 
fees of 5% of the proceeds from Warrants exercised to Joseph Dillon & 
Company, Inc. ("Dillon"), the underwriter of the Company's 1996 public 
offering which included the Warrants, subject to certain contingencies,
among which are that the Warrants are not held in any discretionary 
accounts and Dillon is designated as the soliciting broker.  The net 
proceeds after costs to the Company from the exercise of the Warrants,
assuming all Warrants are exercised, would be approximately $9,832,000 
and would be applied to reducing debt and for working capital.  There 
is no assurance as to the extent of any exercise of the Warrants, 
particularly in view of the current market price of the common stock 
being less than the Warrant exercise price.  Therefore, there can be 
no assurance that the Company will realize any proceeds.

     The Company is in the process of preparing an updated registration 
statement covering the common stock issuable upon exercise of the 
Warrants.  Until such registration statement is filed with and declared 
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the states in 
which the Warrantholders are located, the Warrants may not be exercised 
and the Company will not issue any shares of common stock.

     RE:  Amendment No. 1 to Warrant Agreement

Gentlemen: 

     This letter agreement represents Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant 
Agreement between Joseph Dillon & Company, Inc. ("Dillon"), Conti-
nental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Warrant Agent"), and 
Dialysis Corporation of America (the "Company"), dated April 16, 
1996, between and among the parties to extend the exercise period 
of the Warrants to October 16, 1999.  This Amendment No. 1 amends 
Section 2 of the Warrant Agreement by extending the exercise period 
of the Warrant to October 16, 1999.  Any and all other provisions of
the Warrant Agreement indicating the expiration of the term being 
April 16, 1999 are hereby amended to read October 16, 1999.

     The Warrants and the Warrant Agreement as previously modified 
will otherwise remain the same and in full force and effect in 
accordance with their terms.

                                 Very truly yours,
