                        Report of Independent Accountants

June 6, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of the Total Renal Care, Inc. Retirement
Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Total Renal Care, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
the schedule of assets held for investment purposes and the schedule of
reportable transactions is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for
purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The
schedule of assets held for investment purposes, the schedule of reportable
transactions and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

The schedule of reportable transactions that accompanies the Plan's financial
statements does not disclose the historical cost of certain plan assets.

and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.

1.   Description of Plan

     The following description of the Total Renal Care, Inc. Retirement Savings
     Plan (the "Plan") sponsored by Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. (the
     "Company") provides only general information.  Participants should refer to
     the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
     provisions.

     General

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan established effective October 1,
     1994 and most recently amended August 23, 1996, retroactively effective
     March 1, 1996.  Employees become eligible to participate upon completing
     one year of service with 1,000 hours.  The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").

     Contributions

     Participants may contribute an amount equal to not less than 1 percent nor
     more than 15 percent of their compensation for the contribution period.
     The Company may make a discretionary contribution in an amount to be
     determined by a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors.

     Participant Accounts

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
     and allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings.  Earnings
     are allocated by fund based on the ratio of a participant's account
     invested in a particular fund to all participants' investments in that
     fund.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
     can be provided from the participant's account.

     Vesting

     Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus
     actual earnings thereon.  The balance of vesting in the participants'
     accounts is based on years of service.  A participant becomes 20 percent
     vested after one year of service, 40 percent vested after two years of
     service, 60 percent vested after three years of service, 80 percent vested
     after four years of service and 100 percent vested after five years of
     service.  However, if an active participant dies prior to attaining the
     normal retirement age, the participant's estate becomes 100 percent vested.

     .    Guaranteed Long-Term Fund - Funds are invested in the CIGNA Guaranteed
          Long-Term Account, which provides a guaranteed rate of return reset
          semiannually.

     .    Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth Fund - Funds are invested solely in
          units of the CIGNA Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth Account, which in
          turn invests solely in shares of the Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth
          Fund.

     .    Twentieth Century Ultra Investors Fund - Funds are invested solely in
          units of the CIGNA Twentieth Century Ultra Investors Account, which in
          turn invests solely in shares of the Twentieth Century Ultra Investors
          Fund.

     .    Warburg Pincus Advisor International Equity Fund - Funds are invested
          solely in units of the CIGNA Warburg Pincus Advisor International
          Equity Account, which in turn invests solely in shares of the Warburg
          Pincus Advisor International Equity Fund, Inc.

     .    Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. Common Stock Fund - Funds are invested
          solely in shares of Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. common stock.

   Participants may change their investment options at any time.

   Payment of Benefits

   On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a
   lump-sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, a distribution in
   the form of an annuity, or a combination of both.  All distributions are
   subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan agreement.

   Participant Notes Receivable

   Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the
   vested portion of their account balance, subject to certain restrictions,
   in accordance with interest rates and collateral requirements established
   by the Company.

   Cash Equivalents

   Contributions received prior to year end awaiting investment in the
   appropriate investment option at December 31 are invested in the CIGNA
   Guaranteed Short-Term Account, which is recorded at fair value, and are
   included as cash equivalents within the fund in which units are
   subsequently purchased.

2.   Summary of Accounting Policies

     Method of Accounting

     The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
     accounting, and reflect management's estimates and assumptions, such as
     those regarding fair value, that affect the recorded amounts.  Significant
     estimates used are discussed throughout the notes to financial statements.

     Investments

     Investments in pooled separate accounts (CIGNA Fidelity Advisor Income &
     Growth Account, CIGNA Twentieth Century Ultra Investors Account and CIGNA
     Warburg Pincus Advisor International Equity Account) are recorded at fair
     value, as determined by the unit value as reported by the Connecticut
     General Life Insurance Company ("CG Life").  During the year ended December
     31, 1995, the Plan adopted the provisions of Statement of Position No. 94-4
     ("SOP 94-4") "Reporting of Investment Contracts held by Health and Welfare
     Benefit Plans and Defined-Contribution Pension Plans" which requires that
     investments in non-fully benefit responsive investment contracts be
     reported at fair value.  As a result of the adoption of SOP 94-4, the
     investment in the CIGNA Guaranteed Long-Term Account is recorded at fair
     value. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates
     fair value.  The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price.

     Contributions

     Employee contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company
     makes payroll deductions from the participants' earnings.  Company
     contributions are recorded annually.

     Benefits

     Benefit claims are recorded as expenses when they have been approved for
     payment and paid by the Plan.

3.   Deposit With Insurance Company

     The Plan participates in a contract with CG Life via an investment in the
     CIGNA Guaranteed Long-Term Account.  CG Life commingles the assets of this
     investment with other assets.  For the Plan's investment in the CIGNA
     Guaranteed Long-Term Account, the Plan is credited with interest at the
     rate specified in the contract which was 6.05% and ranged from 6.50% to
     6.15% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, net of
     asset charges. Effective January 1, 1996 CG Life restructured the interest
     crediting mechanism of the CIGNA Guaranteed Long-Term Account to allow the
     credited interest rate to be prospectively guaranteed for six months.  As
     discussed in Note 2, the Guaranteed Long-Term Account is included in the
     financial statements at fair value which, principally because of the
     periodic rate reset process, approximates contract value.

     units, 51,998; 38,164
</TABLE>

5.   Participant Notes Receivable

     Under the terms of the Plan, participants may borrow from their accounts up
     to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance.  Loan
     transactions are treated as a transfer to/from the investment fund from/to
     the Participant Notes Receivable Fund.  A loan is secured by the balance in
     the participant's account and bears interest at a rate commensurate with
     market rates for similar loans, as defined (10.00% to 11.00% and 10.03% to
     10.81% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively).

6.   Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of
     Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
     accounts.

7.   Income Taxes

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter dated November 25, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are
     designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
     Code ("IRC").  The Plan's administrator and tax counsel believe that the
     Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the IRC.  Therefore, no provision for income
     taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

     Nondiscrimination testing in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code was
     not completed for the 1996 plan year.  Management is in process of
     performing the testing and appropriate steps will be taken so as to ensure
     the continued tax qualified status of the Plan.

8.   Reconciliation of Plan Financial Statements to the Form 5500

     The Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan (the "Form 5500") is
     prepared on the modified cash basis.  Accordingly, certain balances
     included on lines 31 and 32 of the Form 5500 differ from those included in
     these financial statements.  Contributions on the statement of changes in
     net assets available for benefits differ from contributions on the Form
     5500 by the amount of contributions accrued at December 31, 1995.  The
     ending net asset balances are reconciled as follows:

9. Transfer from Affiliated Plan and Plan Mergers

   Certain assets were transferred to the Plan from Valley Dialysis Associates,
   formerly part of Valley Internal Medicine and from the NME Retirement Savings
   Plan during 1996 and 1995, respectively.  In addition, effective July 1,
   1995, certain participants of the Logan Square Dialysis Services, Inc. 401(k)
   Plan and Lincoln Park Nephrology Associates, S.C. 401(k) Plan were merged
   into the Plan.

10. Forfeitures

   The net change in forfeiture reserve represents the net change in the
   available forfeiture reserve balance from the prior year plus the current
   year forfeitures generated.  Forfeitures result from nonvested benefit
   payments remaining in the Plan for all terminated employees.  Upon reaching
   the break-in-service, as defined in the Plan agreement, forfeitures generated
   are added to the forfeiture reserve balance.  The forfeiture reserve of
   $13,922 and $13,149 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, is included
   in the CIGNA Guaranteed Long-Term Account and is available to offset
   contributions or to pay Plan expenses, which would be otherwise payable by
   the Company, in accordance with the Plan agreement.
