Dialysis Centre in Himatnagar
Dialysis cleans the blood when the kidneys can no longer do it. In haemodialysis, a machine removes waste, salt and extra fluid from the blood, usually 2–3 times a week for a few hours. Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar has a dialysis unit for patients with kidney failure, with ICU and 24×7 emergency support, so patients don’t need to travel far for regular sessions.
Understanding the Condition
When Is Dialysis Needed?
Dialysis is advised when kidney function falls very low (end-stage kidney disease), or in sudden kidney failure with dangerous fluid, potassium or acid levels. The decision is based on blood tests and symptoms. Some patients need it for a short time; those with permanent kidney failure need it regularly or a transplant.
