Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the two forms of dialysis treatment. Hemodialysis: It involves a dialysis treatment machine that uses a filter to remove toxins from the bloodstream. In this treatment, doctor creates a dialysis access that can be connected with the machine. We provide comprehensive treatments by dialysis fistula, catheter and graft to patients. Fistula: An arteriovenous fistula is a connection with a vein to an artery creating an access with one’s own tissues. The goal of the initiative is to have more patients with arteriovenous fistulas instead of grafts or catheters.
Graft: A connection between an artery and vein by using a synthetic tube is also known as an arteriovenous graft. This treatment is done by using two needles in the artery and vein graft for removal and replacement of blood.
Tunnel Dialysis Catheter: A catheter for dialysis treatment is usually inserted into a vein in the neck. The catheter is held in place by a cuff under the skin that is also used to keep bacteria out of the body. Catheters are considered a temporary access for dialysis due to a higher incidence of infection. It need to have extra care to prevent irritation and infection from occurring.
