Haemodialysis
Department description
Our job is to provide intensive outpatient care to patients with kidney failure.
Hemodialysis, is a procedure where the patient's blood is purified using a dialysis machine called in layman's terms an artificial kidney. During haemodialysis, the patient's blood is taken into the extracorporeal circulation through a dialyser, where waste substances - such as urea, creatinine and excess water - are filtered out. The purified blood is then returned to the patient's body through a vascular access.
It is usually necessary to go to the hospital three times a week for 4 to 5 hours for haemodialysis. The dialysed patient must follow a diet with restricted phosphorus and potassium intake and has restricted fluid intake.
