Dialysis Care
Dialysis replaces part of the kidneys’ filtering function when kidney failure is advanced. Care includes choosing the most suitable modality, preparing access, monitoring treatment adequacy and managing the medical issues that continue between dialysis sessions.
Care built around the clinical picture.
Hemodialysis planning and follow-up
Peritoneal dialysis counselling and follow-up
Fluid, blood pressure and dry-weight review
Anaemia and mineral-bone disorder monitoring
Dialysis access planning and complication review
A clear evaluation, then a practical plan.
Dialysis care is individualized around residual kidney function, symptoms, laboratory results, blood pressure, fluid balance, lifestyle and access options. Patients approaching dialysis benefit from education before treatment becomes urgent.
Reasons patients are often referred.
- Advanced CKD with symptoms or complications
- Progressive fluid overload
- Difficult electrolyte or acid-base problems
- Need for dialysis modality counselling
- Problems with dialysis tolerance or access
Frequently asked questions.
Is dialysis a cure for kidney failure?
No. Dialysis is a kidney replacement treatment that performs part of the kidneys’ filtering work.
Can I choose between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?
Many patients can consider both, but medical suitability, lifestyle, home support and personal preference all matter.
When should dialysis planning start?
Planning is best started before an emergency so there is time to discuss options and prepare vascular or peritoneal access.
