What are Dialysis Services?

Dialysis is a life-saving procedure that performs the essential functions of the kidneys when they are no longer able to work properly. It helps remove waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood—maintaining the body's chemical balance and supporting vital organ function.

Dialysis is typically recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There are two main types of dialysis:

• Hemodialysis: Blood is filtered through a machine outside the body and then returned.

• Peritoneal Dialysis: The abdominal lining (peritoneum) is used as a natural filter to remove waste.

Signs and Symptoms That May Require Dialysis

When your kidneys begin to fail, your body shows warning signs. Common symptoms that indicate the need for dialysis include:

• Swelling in the legs, ankles, or face (fluid retention)

• Shortness of breath

• Fatigue or weakness

• Nausea or vomiting

• Difficulty concentrating or confusion

• Reduced urine output or changes in urination pattern

• High blood pressure not responding to medication

• Persistent itching or dry skin

• Loss of appetite

Diagnostic Procedures

• Blood Tests: To check creatinine, urea, electrolytes, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

• Urine Tests: To assess protein leakage or abnormalities

• Ultrasound or CT Scan: To examine kidney size and structure

• Kidney Biopsy (if needed): To determine the exact cause of kidney damage

• Monitoring Blood Pressure & Weight Changes: Key indicators of fluid overload and kidney performance
