ITEM 1.     SECURITY AND ISSUER.

            This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Renex Corp., a Florida
Corporation (the "Issuer"), beneficially owned by RC Acquisition Corp., a
Florida corporation ("Merger Sub"), National Nephrology Associates, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Parent"), J.W. Childs Equity Partners II, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("JWCEP") and J.W. Childs Associates, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("JWCA"). JWCA, together with JWCEP, Parent and Issuer are
the "Reporting Persons." Effective as of February 1, 2000, as a result of the
transactions more fully described in Item 4 herein, as amended, Merger Sub was
merged with and into the Issuer and is no longer a Reporting Person. The
Reporting Persons hereby file this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment No. 1") to
the Schedule 13D filed on January 7, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D").

            Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings as those set forth in the Schedule
13D.

ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons and the
information contained herein supplements the information contained in the
Schedule 13D.

            As a result of the transactions more fully described in Item 4
herein, as amended, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer (the
"Merger") and Merger Sub's separate corporate existence terminated, Merger Sub
ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of Common Stock, and
thus ceased to be a Reporting Person.

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

            As previously reported in the Schedule 13D, Parent, Merger Sub and
the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), dated as of December 28, 1999. The Merger Agreement was approved
and adopted by the board of directors of the Issuer at a meeting held on
December 27, 1999. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub commenced a
tender offer (the "Offer") for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer at a purchase price of $10.00 per share of Common Stock without
interest. The purpose of the Merger and the Offer was to enable Parent, through
Purchaser, to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, the Issuer.
The Offer was consummated on February 1, 2000, and as of such date, 7,393,055
shares of Common Stock, or approximately 86.3% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, were purchased by Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer. Because Merger
Sub acquired greater than 80% of the shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted
basis, Florida law permitted Merger Sub to effect the Merger without a
shareholders' meeting and without the approval of or prior notice to the other
shareholders of the Issuer. The Merger was consummated pursuant to the Merger
Agreement on February 1, 2000 (the "Effective Time"). In connection with the
Merger, each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Issuer was


                                  Page 6 of 9

<PAGE>   7


converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash without interest. In
connection with the Merger, Parent also refinanced certain of its outstanding
indebtedness.

            At the Effective Time, each of the 100 outstanding shares of common
stock of Merger Sub were converted into a share of common stock of the Issuer as
the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result, as of the Effective Time,
the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

            Following the Merger, the Issuer applied to have the Common Stock
delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and the Issuer filed a Form 15 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission suspending the Issuer's duty to file reports
under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") and seeking to deregister the Common Stock under the Exchange
Act.

            As previously reported in the Schedule 13D, contemporaneous with
entering into the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub and Parent entered into a
shareholders agreement, dated as of December 28, 1999 (the "Shareholders
Agreement"), with the directors and executive officers of the Issuer. The
Shareholders Agreement, terminated according to its terms upon the consummation
of the Merger at the Effective Time.

            As of the Effective Time, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
sole director of the Issuer (the "Board") became Leif Murphy, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Parent. Promptly following the
Effective Time, Mr. Murphy was removed as a director and the following persons
were appointed to the Board of Directors: Dr. Jerome S. Tannenbaum, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Parent; Dr. Jeffrey L. Hymes, Director,
President and Chief Medical Officer of Parent; Joseph A. Cashia, Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer of Parent; and M. Stephen Harrison,
Executive Vice President, New Business Development of Parent. The composition
of the Board is subject to change from time to time, but representatives or
employees of the Reporting Persons are expected to constitute a majority of the
Board. In that capacity, such persons will be consulted, and will vote, on
matters that are presented to the Board, including sales of assets,
extraordinary corporate transactions and changes to the Issuer's
capitalization, dividend policy, business or corporate structure. The officers
of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time became the officers of the
Issuer after the Effective Time.

            At the Effective Time and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
articles of incorporation of Merger Sub became the articles of incorporation of
the Issuer, and the by-laws of Merger Sub became the by-laws of the Issuer.

            The preceding summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement
is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of such agreements, copies of which have previously been filed as
exhibits to the Schedule 13D, and incorporated therein by reference.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

            on Schedules I or II hereto, during the 60-day period preceding
            February 1, 2000.

      (d)   No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive
            dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of
            Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Persons.

      (e)   Pursuant to the Merger, Merger Sub was merged with and into the
            Issuer and Merger Sub's separate corporate existence terminated,
            Merger Sub ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five
            percent of the Common Stock, and thus ceased to be a Reporting
            Person.
