What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is a procedure that removes waste products, extra salt, and excess water from the blood. It also helps maintain safe levels of important minerals such as potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate.
Dialysis is commonly recommended for patients suffering from advanced kidney disease or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Why is Dialysis Needed?
Dialysis may be necessary when the kidneys lose around 85–90% of their function. Common causes of kidney failure include:
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Chronic kidney disease
Glomerulonephritis
Polycystic kidney disease
Severe infections or kidney injury
