Dialysis Unit
The Dialysis Unit is a specialized department in a hospital that provides treatment for patients with kidney failure. Dialysis is a medical process that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys cannot function properly. Patients with chronic kidney disease often require regular dialysis sessions. The unit is equipped with dialysis machines that filter and clean the blood safely. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter the blood outside the body. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter the blood inside the body. Highly trained doctors and nurses supervise each dialysis session carefully. Vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate are monitored during the procedure. The Dialysis Unit plays a vital role in improving the quality of life for patients with kidney problems.
