Hemodialysis is one of the modalities for dislysis a life-saving treatment for individuals with kidney failure . As a Kidney specialist and a dialysis experience we provide awareness about this treatment, its benefits, and how patients can manage their health while on hemodialysis.

 What is Hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a process that filters waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood, with the help of machine mimicking the kidney’s natural function. It is primarily used when the patient has permanent kidney failure that is chronic kidney disease or Acute kidney injury that is temporary kidney failure.

How Does Hemodialysis Work?

During hemodialysis, the patient’s blood is drawn out of the body with the help of machine that filters it through a special membrane, removing toxins and waste. The clean blood is then returned to the body. This process usually takes 3 to 5 hours and is done multiple times a week.

What does one need to consider while on Hemodialysis?
