Dialysis

The Dialysis Center at the Salem Polyclinic is nationally recognized for its high-quality patient care. Our team members have pioneered incremental hemodialysis, nutritional therapy, pregnancy care during dialysis and other innovative approaches to patient care. Dialysis is a medical treatment used to perform the functions of the kidneys when they are no longer able to effectively filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood on their own. This is often necessary for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney dysfunction. Dialysis helps maintain the body’s balance of fluids and electrolytes and remove toxins that would otherwise accumulate.
dialysis depends on various factors, including the patient’s overall health, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
In addition to the mechanical process of dialysis, managing the underlying conditions that contributed to kidney failure, such as diabetes or hypertension, is crucial for overall health and treatment effectiveness.
