Understanding the Role of Dialysis in Advanced Kidney Disease

Speciality: Nephrology

Description:

Welcome to our podcast. Today, we’re exploring the important role of dialysis in advanced kidney disease. When kidneys are no longer able to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood effectively, dialysis becomes a vital treatment. There are two main types: hemodialysis, which uses a machine to clean the blood, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of your abdomen. Dialysis doesn’t cure kidney disease, but it helps manage symptoms and maintain balance in the body. Regular sessions are necessary, and lifestyle adjustments are often needed. Understanding these options empowers patients and families to make informed decisions with their healthcare team.
