Chronic Kidney Disease
Long-term reduction in kidney function that may require regular monitoring and specialist evaluation.
Dialysis is a treatment that helps remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform these functions adequately. Care is planned according to each patient's kidney condition and medical needs.
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.
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.
Long-term reduction in kidney function that may require regular monitoring and specialist evaluation.
A sudden decline in kidney function that may sometimes require temporary dialysis support.
Excess fluid accumulation that may cause swelling or breathing difficulties and needs medical assessment.
Significant changes in blood potassium or other electrolytes may require urgent treatment.
Build-up of waste products in the blood that can cause symptoms and may need specialist treatment.
Kidney damage associated with diabetes that may need ongoing monitoring and nephrology care.
High blood pressure can affect kidney function and requires appropriate medical management.
Abnormal kidney test results may require further investigations and specialist review.
Patients already receiving dialysis may need continued medical review and treatment coordination.
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.

Dialysis is a treatment that helps remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys cannot perform these functions adequately.
People with severe kidney dysfunction may need dialysis. The decision depends on symptoms, blood test results, fluid balance and the treating nephrologist's assessment.
Haemodialysis uses a machine and a special filter called a dialyser to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood.
No. Many people with kidney disease do not need dialysis. Treatment depends on the stage of kidney disease, symptoms, test results and clinical assessment.
Session duration varies according to the patient's prescription and medical condition. The treating team will explain the expected duration for an individual treatment plan.
The frequency depends on the type of dialysis and the patient's medical needs. Follow the schedule prescribed by the treating nephrologist.
The treatment itself is not usually described as painful, although access needle insertion or other aspects may cause discomfort. Patients should report pain or unusual symptoms to the care team.
Diet and fluid recommendations vary between patients. Follow the individual advice provided by the nephrologist or renal dietitian.
Haemodialysis requires a way to access the bloodstream. This may involve an arteriovenous fistula, graft or catheter, depending on the patient's situation and medical plan.
Dialysis supports some functions of the kidneys but does not generally cure chronic kidney disease. Some people with acute kidney injury may need temporary dialysis, depending on recovery.
Contact your dialysis care team promptly for advice. Do not independently change or skip prescribed treatment sessions.
