Patients with kidney failures are required to take dialysis treatment. For a person on dialysis, the functions of the kidneys removing waste from the body is performed either outside the body or inside with the help of a fluid. A state of the art water purification plant is present at the hospital. Water purification tests are also performed to keep the flow of dialysis.
At Axon Hospital & Dialysis Centre, we have a dedicated unit where Performed
haemodialysis. The department has specialized and dedicated staff for the
patient’s benefit.
While performing haemodialysis, blood is taken out from the body and filtered
through an artificial kidney or dialyser, then cleansed and transferred back to
the body. This transferring procedure of the blood requires an access point.
There are three types of access points—the arteriovenous (AV) fistula,
AV graft and central venous catheter. If a fistula or graft is used to access
the blood, two needles will be placed at the beginning of the treatment. These
needles are further inserted into two soft tubes that are connected to the
dialysis machine. With the help of these tubes and needles, the blood will pass,
get cleaned and be sent back to the body.
If a catheter is used, it
negates the use of needles and can be directly connected to the dialysis tubes.
The doctor decides which access is appropriate for the patient. Haemodialysis is
mostly advised for patients at the end stage of renal disease.
