Kidney Failure
- Patients with a severe degree of kidney failure cannot lead a comfortable life with medications and dietary restrictions alone. They need a treatment modality known as dialysis, a procedure to purify the blood by removing toxic substances.
- The term chronic renal failure denotes a permanent loss of kidney function. When a person has suffered an irreversible loss of more than 90% of kidney function, the patient is diagnosed as having end-stage renal disease. Patients with end-stage renal disease undergo lifelong maintenance dialysis or a kidney transplant.
- Our department provides hemodialysis, a procedure where the patient’s blood is filtered by an artificial kidney. Patients with end-stage renal disease can choose between Hemodialysis or Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) for their treatment
