Dialysis in Monroeville
Healthy kidneys perform a variety of functions, including cleaning the blood of waste and maintaining the proper balance of salt, minerals, and water in the body. When a person's kidneys are no longer functioning as well as they should, this balance is disturbed and wastes accumulate, leading to other problems. Dialysis treatments allow medical professionals to intervene and take over where the kidneys are no longer able to cope. Simply put, it's a way to artificially clean the blood.
There are a variety of different dialysis options available today. If your nephrologist determines that you need dialysis, they'll discuss the pros and cons, recommending the best fit for your unique set of circumstances. Below is a list of some of the types of dialysis you might receive:
- In-Center Hemodialysis
- Peritoneal Dialysis
- Nocturnal Dialysis
- Home Dialysis
- "Working Shift" Dialysis
