Dialysis

What Is Dialysis?

Dialysis is a life-saving treatment that performs the function of the kidneys when they are no longer able to work properly. It helps remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood, maintaining a healthy balance in the body.

Who Needs Dialysis?

Dialysis is recommended for patients with:

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

  • End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

  • Acute kidney failure

  • Severe electrolyte imbalance

Our nephrology team carefully evaluates each patient before starting dialysis.
