Dialysis & Renal Replacement Therapy
1.Hemodialysis
Dialysis performed by filtering blood through a machine, typically at a hospital or dialysis center, usually several times a week.
2.Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD & APD)
Dialysis performed using the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter — available as CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, done manually during the day) or APD (Automated Peritoneal Dialysis, done overnight using a machine). This option can often be managed at home.
3.Individualized Dialysis Prescriptions
Dialysis plans tailored to each patient's specific kidney function, health status, and lifestyle — rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
4.Dialysis Access Planning
Planning and preparation of the access point needed for dialysis (such as a fistula, graft, or catheter), done in advance where possible for the best long-term outcomes.
5.Dialysis-Related Complications
Monitoring and management of complications that can arise from dialysis, including access-related issues, infections, and treatment adjustments as needed.
6.Transition from Dialysis to Kidney Transplantation
Guidance and preparation for patients on dialysis who are candidates for kidney transplantation, helping coordinate the path from dialysis to transplant.
