Dialysis

Treatment Options

Dialysis removes toxins from the blood when the kidneys cannot. At Knickerbock we offer these types of dialysis:

Hemodialysis is ongoing dialysis (3 to 5 times a week) that cleans your blood, usually in a dialysis center. The hemodialysis access is in your arm.

Peritoneal dialysis is ongoing dialysis (daily) that collects waste from the blood by washing the empty space in the abdomen (peritoneal cavity). The access for this is in your abdomen.

Dialysis machines

Thanks to the enormous medical advances in dialysis and dialysis machines, the “artificial kidney” is helping hundreds of thousands of people with chronic renal failure to continue enjoying long and satisfying lives.

Knowing about and understanding your treatment is an important part of maintaining good health. The nursing staff will make suggestions about which aspects of your daily life you can optimise to improve your wellbeing. Be open and trust the expertise and experience of your carers.

Our goal is to give you the confidence to enjoy life to the full.
