When is Dialysis Recommended?

Dialysis is advised when kidney function declines to a level where the body can no longer maintain normal balance on its own. Common indications include:

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in advanced stages
  • Acute kidney injury with reduced urine output
  • End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
  • Severe fluid overload not responding to medication
  • Dangerous electrolyte imbalances
  • Symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, breathlessness, nausea, or confusion due to kidney failure
  • Timely initiation of dialysis helps manage complications associated with reduced kidney function.

What Conditions Can Be Evaluated or Treated in the Cath Lab?

Haemodialysis

Blood is filtered through a dialysis machine that removes waste products and excess fluid before returning clean blood to the body. This is typically performed several times a week under medical supervision.

How Dialysis Is Performed

During haemodialysis, blood flows from the body through a sterile tubing system into a dialysis machine, where it is filtered and returned safely. The procedure is performed through a vascular access created by a specialist.

Each dialysis session usually lasts several hours. Patients are monitored throughout the process to ensure stability and comfort.
