Dialysis
Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis with expert monitoring.
Dialysis is a medical procedure that performs the filtering function of the kidneys when they can no longer work adequately. It removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood, helping maintain proper chemical balance in the body.
Types
Hemodialysis
Blood is pumped out of the body to an artificial kidney machine, filtered, and returned. Typically done 3 times per week at a dialysis center.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Uses the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) as a natural filter. Can be done at home.
