Dialysis Unit
Dialysis is the process of removing excess water, solutes and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. This is referred to as renal replacement therapy.
Dialysis is pain-free treatment, but you may experience certain discomfort when the needles are being put into your fistula or graft or during the process, some patients may have a low blood pressure which may lead to temporary vomiting, dizziness, headache or cramps.
Our trained staff will be on hand to assist you throughout your treatment. Usually, each haemodialysis treatment lasts about four hours and is done three times per week but the time needed for your dialysis depends on:
- how well your kidneys work
- how much fluid weight you gain between treatments
- how much waste you have in your body
- how big you are
- the type of artificial kidney used (equipment)
