Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis is a medical treatment used to remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to function properly. During the procedure, blood is drawn from the body, filtered through a machine called a dialyzer, and then returned. Hemodialysis helps maintain the balance of electrolytes, control blood pressure, and prevent the buildup of harmful substances. Typically, it is performed several times a week in a hospital or dialysis center, with each session lasting around 3 to 5 hours. Proper diet, fluid management, and regular sessions are essential for the treatment’s effectiveness.
