Inpatient and Outpatient Hemodialysis
What is Hemodialysis?
One method that is used to achieve the extracorporeal removal of waste products from the blood is called Hemodialysis. This method is used when the kidneys are in renal failure and are no longer able to filter waste from the blood. Hemodialysis removes wastes such as urea, creatinine, potassium extra fluids. It also helps to restore the balance of electrolytes in the blood. The process involves filtering the blood through the use of a man-made membrane called a dialyzer and then returned to the body.
We offer this method as an inpatient and outpatient service.

Chronic kidney disease is described as having issues with your kidneys for a period of time in which your kidneys are not functioning the way they were meant to. Your kidneys are important to your body because they filter your blood and allow waste to be removed from your body. A kidney that is not functioning correctly can cause various symptoms including urinating less than normal, swelling in legs and feet, feeling tired or sleepy, not feeling hungry, losing weight without trying, nausea/vomiting, trouble sleeping, and headaches.
If you are experiencing any issues with your kidneys, please contact us to setup an appointment.
