DIALYSIS & KIDNEY CARE

Understanding Dialysis and Kidney Function.

The kidneys help filter waste products and extra fluid from the blood, maintain electrolyte balance and support other important body functions.

When kidney function becomes severely reduced, waste products and fluid can build up in the body. Depending on the patient's condition, dialysis may be recommended as part of their treatment plan.

Haemodialysis is a treatment that uses a dialysis machine and a special filter, often called a dialyser, to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood.

The need for dialysis, treatment schedule and ongoing care are determined by the treating nephrologist based on clinical assessment and investigation results.

KIDNEY CONDITIONS & DIALYSIS EVALUATION

When May a Patient Need Dialysis Assessment?

Dialysis may be considered in certain advanced or acute kidney conditions. The decision depends on symptoms, laboratory findings, fluid status and the treating nephrologist's assessment.

♡Chronic Kidney Disease

Long-term reduction in kidney function that may require regular monitoring and specialist evaluation.

✚Acute Kidney Injury

A sudden decline in kidney function that may sometimes require temporary dialysis support.

◉Fluid Overload

Excess fluid accumulation that may cause swelling or breathing difficulties and needs medical assessment.

⚕Electrolyte Imbalance

Significant changes in blood potassium or other electrolytes may require urgent treatment.

♡Uraemia

Build-up of waste products in the blood that can cause symptoms and may need specialist treatment.

✚Diabetes-Related Kidney Disease

Kidney damage associated with diabetes that may need ongoing monitoring and nephrology care.

◉Hypertension-Related Kidney Damage

High blood pressure can affect kidney function and requires appropriate medical management.

⚕Reduced Kidney Function

Abnormal kidney test results may require further investigations and specialist review.

♡Ongoing Dialysis Follow-Up

Patients already receiving dialysis may need continued medical review and treatment coordination.

DIALYSIS CARE & TREATMENT

Understanding the Dialysis Care Process.

Dialysis care involves medical evaluation, treatment planning and monitoring according to the patient's kidney function and overall health.

Haemodialysis generally involves circulating blood through a dialyser to remove waste products and excess fluid before returning the filtered blood to the body.

The type of dialysis, treatment duration, access method and frequency are decided by the treating specialist.

PATIENT & FAMILY SUPPORT

Supporting Patients Through Their Dialysis Journey.

Starting dialysis can involve changes to a patient's routine, diet, fluid intake and daily activities. Understanding the treatment plan can help patients and families prepare for ongoing care.

The treating nephrologist explains the reason for dialysis, the recommended treatment schedule and the monitoring required for the patient's condition.

Patients should discuss prescribed medicines, food choices, fluid limits and activity levels with their healthcare team rather than making changes independently.

Regular follow-up and reporting new symptoms can help the treating team review the patient's health and treatment needs.
