Acute Hemodialysis

Our acute hemodialysis service is available to those who require dialysis on an inpatient (hospitalized) basis, with very close monitoring. We offer patients the convenience of being treated near home by an experienced nursing staff using the most technologically advanced hemodialysis equipment available. We treat patients afflicted with acute kidney failure in addition to those with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.
Dialysis is needed when kidneys no longer remove enough wastes and fluid from your blood to keep you healthy. This usually happens when you have only 10 to 15 percent of your kidney function left. You may have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, swelling and fatigue. Even if you do not have these symptoms, you may still require dialysis – your doctor is the best person to tell you if and when you should start dialysis.

Did You Know…
20 million Americans – 1 in 9 U.S. adults – have Chronic Kidney Disease and another 20 million more are at increased risk.
