Kidney Health Information

24/7 Dialysis

Dialysis is a treatment that removes waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are not able to function properly. 24/7 dialysis support ensures patients receive timely care whenever needed, including emergency situations.

What is Dialysis?

The kidneys filter blood and remove waste from the body. When kidney function reduces significantly, dialysis helps perform this function artificially.

Dialysis may be required in patients with chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, or critical illness. Continuous access to dialysis is important for maintaining stable health.

At Dr Vijay Thanaraj Kidney Care in Thoothukudi, patients receive round the clock dialysis support with careful monitoring and expert care.

When is Dialysis Needed & Role of a Specialist

Dialysis is required when the kidneys are unable to filter waste effectively.

Common situations include advanced chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, severe fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, and poisoning or toxin build up.

A nephrologist decides when dialysis is needed and plans the treatment based on the patient's condition. Treatment focuses on stabilising the patient, removing toxins, and maintaining overall balance in the body.
