Hemodialysis

• Have acute kidney failure from conditions like infections, dehydration, or trauma.
• Suffer from long-term kidney damage due to diabetes, hypertension, or other health issues.
• Are in need of pre-transplant dialysis to maintain health before a kidney transplant.

Benefits of Hemodialysis

• Waste Removal: Hemodialysis helps clear toxins and waste products (like urea) that accumulate in the blood when the kidneys aren’t functioning properly.
• Fluid Balance: It helps maintain proper fluid balance by removing excess fluid that builds up due to kidney dysfunction.
• Electrolyte Regulation: Hemodialysis also helps maintain healthy levels of electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium, which are crucial for bodily functions.
• Improved Health & Quality of Life: For many patients, regular dialysis improves overall health, energy levels, and the ability to perform daily activities.
• Life-Saving: For those with kidney failure, hemodialysis can extend life and prevent complications such as fluid overload, high potassium levels, and uremia.

Other Considerations

• Frequency & Duration: Hemodialysis is typically performed 3 times a week, with each session lasting around 3-5 hours, depending on the patient’s needs.
• Home Hemodialysis: Some patients may be candidates for home hemodialysis, providing flexibility and convenience while still receiving expert care.
• Potential Complications: While hemodialysis is life-saving, it can come with some risks, such as infections, low blood pressure, and blood clots. Regular monitoring and care are essential to minimize these risks.
