Kidney Care - Dialysis Services for Improved Quality of Life
At Al-Manar Hospital, we understand that kidney failure can be a life-altering condition. Our Kidney Care program offers comprehensive services, including dialysis, to help patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) maintain their health and well-being. Our team of nephrologists, nurses, and other specialists are dedicated to providing personalized care and support throughout your dialysis journey.
Understanding Dialysis:
Dialysis is a treatment that removes waste products and excess fluid from your blood when your kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. There are two main types of dialysis:
- Hemodialysis: This process involves diverting blood through a machine (dialyzer) that filters out waste and excess fluid before returning the cleaned blood to your body. Hemodialysis is typically performed in a dialysis center three times per week for several hours each session.
- Peritoneal dialysis: This method uses the lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter. Dialysis solution is instilled into your peritoneal cavity, absorbs waste products, and is then drained. Peritoneal dialysis can be performed at home or in a healthcare facility, depending on your needs and preferences.
