Dialysis Care
Dialysis planning and ongoing nephrology follow-up.
If dialysis is being considered, specialist consultation can help with treatment planning, access preparation, and follow-up. Patients are often referred by their general practitioner or treating team.
What to expect
Haemodialysis is a carefully supervised treatment used to help filter waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood when kidney function has become severely impaired.
Treatment planning may include access preparation, treatment scheduling, monitoring during sessions, and guidance on medication, nutrition, and lifestyle.
