Dialysis at home

Home    /    Dialysis Care

 
 

 

Dialysis is prescribed for patients with renal disease, where the kidney is not able to effectively filter toxins and waste and remove excess fluid from the blood. It requires specialised and ongoing medical care.


There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis

Dialysis patients have compromised immunity and frequent visits to the hospital/ centre can expose them to unwanted infections or unexpected irregularities, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

 

On one hand, the whole thought of starting dialysis can be overwhelming and on the other hand, one may not even know where to start. There may be several questions in the mind, which is why it is important to seek medical advise.

 

Hemodialysis can be done at home
and offers the following advantages

Complete convenience and independence
Flexible schedules and timings
Dialyse gently and more frequently

We at Care4Parents will setup everything for your patient ensuring professional care and maintenance.

Studies show the more you know, the better you are likely to do on dialysis.

Our trained technicians help the elderly feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure, thereby increasing the effectiveness.

The most beneficial part of home dialysis services is that you can dialyse more often with ease. According to a global study, when hemodialysis is done more frequently, over longer lengths of time and more gently, it is better for the body.

At Care4Parents we can also organise consultation with top nephrologists and then set up hemodialysis at home.
