Reliable, compassionate hemodialysis care for kidney failure patients at Unittas Hospital. Advanced dialysis units staffed by expert nephrologists — your lifeline for kidney disease management.
Hemodialysis is a treatment that uses a machine called a dialyser (artificial kidney) to filter the blood outside the body. Blood is drawn from the patient, cleaned through the dialyser to remove waste products and excess fluid, and then returned to the body. This process mimics the kidneys' natural filtration and is typically performed three times a week for most patients.
When chronic kidney disease advances to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), the kidneys fail to adequately filter blood, leading to a buildup of harmful substances. Hemodialysis prevents complications such as fluid overload, high blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, and uremia. It serves as a bridge to kidney transplantation or a long-term management option.

The procedure itself is not painful. Needle insertion may cause brief discomfort, but local numbing is often used and many patients relax during sessions.
Follow your dietitian's advice. Typically limit fluids and avoid high-potassium foods. A light meal is usually fine.
Yes, with planning. Arrange treatments at dialysis centres near your destination and carry medical records.
Missing sessions can lead to fluid overload, high potassium, or serious issues. Contact your doctor immediately if you must miss one.
Many live productive lives for years or decades on hemodialysis, especially with good care and a possible future transplant.
Some experience low blood pressure, cramps, or nausea. These are managed by adjusting fluid removal or medications.
Yes, home hemodialysis is an option for suitable patients after training, offering more flexibility.
Keep the site clean, avoid injury, check for thrill/bruit daily, and report any changes like swelling or redness promptly.
It replaces filtration but not hormone production or other roles, so medications and monitoring remain important.
Tests monitor haemoglobin, electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, and dialysis adequacy (like Kt/V or urea reduction ratio).
Many policies cover it as essential treatment. Our team can assist with documentation.
