These days, we often hear about people undergoing dialysis either in our communities or among relatives and friends.

The kidneys are one of the most essential internal organs in the human body, playing a critical role in filtering out waste and toxins.

When the kidneys are damaged or stop functioning, the body struggles to eliminate waste products, which can lead to severe complications — even death.

To avoid reaching that stage, it is important to consult a specialist and undergo necessary treatments — one of which is dialysis.

What is Dialysis?

Dialysis is not a cure for kidney disease. Rather, it is a supportive treatment that helps perform the vital functions of the kidney when it can no longer do so on its own.

As waste builds up due to kidney failure, Haemodialysis — a type of dialysis — can help remove toxins and support a better quality of life.

Among various dialysis methods, Haemodialysis uses a machine to replace kidney function, filtering the blood and removing waste.

Who Needs Dialysis?

• People with chronic kidney failure
• Patients experiencing kidney disease symptoms
• People with untreated kidney stones

All may need regular dialysis, depending on the kidney’s ability to function — under the supervision of a specialist.

Dialysis patients can still live normal lives, but they must follow a strict diet, monitor fluid intake, and stay in close consultation with their doctor.

At Victoria Hospital, experienced nephrologists and urologists are available to provide consultation and treatment for kidney-related diseases.

Additionally, dialysis services are available every day (including weekends) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, ensuring continuous care for all patients.
