Dialysis - The Kidney Health Group

The Kidney Health Group offers specialized dialysis services to patients whose own kidneys are unable to adequately perform the essential function of cleaning the body of waste products and excess fluid. Dialysis is a vital procedure that becomes necessary when the kidneys can no longer perform this critical task effectively.

There are two primary methods of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis involves the direct cleaning of the patient’s blood through a specialized machine, while peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane within the abdominal cavity to indirectly remove waste and excess fluid. Our expert team works closely with patients to determine the most suitable dialysis method based on their individual needs and medical condition.

Patients undergoing dialysis will maintain regular contact with their nephrologist to ensure that the timing of dialysis sessions is optimized for their specific situation. The ultimate goal of our dialysis service is to preserve as much independence as possible for patients, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives despite their kidney-related challenges. We are committed to providing comprehensive dialysis care that not only ensures the efficient removal of waste and excess fluid but also focuses on enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life for our patients.
