State-of-the-Art Treatments and Procedures

Haemodialysis

Haemodialysis is a procedure used to treat kidney failure by filtering and purifying the blood using a dialyzer (artificial kidney). During the treatment, blood is removed from the body, filtered through the dialyzer to remove waste and excess fluids, and then returned to the body. This process helps regulate blood pressure and maintain the proper balance of electrolytes.

Haemodiafiltration

Haemodiafiltration (HDF) is an advanced dialysis treatment that combines the benefits of both haemodialysis and haemofiltration. It involves the removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood while simultaneously replacing lost fluids with a sterile replacement fluid. HDF provides superior clearance of larger toxins compared to traditional dialysis and is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic kidney disease. This method improves treatment efficiency and patient outcomes, offering enhanced purification and better fluid management.

Renal transplant, ABO Compatible and Incompatible Renal Transplant

An ABO-compatible kidney transplant is a procedure in which the blood type of the donor is compatible with the blood type of the recipient.

An ABO-incompatible kidney transplant is a medical procedure where a kidney from a donor with a different blood type is transplanted into a recipient. Before and after the transplant, you will receive medical treatment to lower antibody levels in your blood, reducing the risk of antibody-mediated rejection of the donor kidney.

Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis is a type of dialysis treatment for kidney failure that utilises the lining of your abdomen, or belly, to filter your blood internally. During peritoneal dialysis, a cleansing fluid flows through a tube into the abdomen, where the peritoneum filters waste from the blood. After a set time, the fluid with the filtered waste flows out and is discarded.

Permacath Insertion

Permacath insertion is a minimally invasive procedure used to create long-term vascular access for patients who require haemodialysis. A Permacath is a tunneled catheter placed into a large vein, usually in the chest, to facilitate repeated access to the bloodstream. It is used for patients awaiting a permanent dialysis access or in cases where traditional access methods are not suitable. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, providing an effective and reliable solution for patients undergoing dialysis.

Intervention Nephrology

Interventional nephrology is a subspecialty of nephrology focused on using minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat kidney-related conditions. This subspecialty is primarily dedicated to the care and maintenance of vascular access for haemodialysis and access for peritoneal dialysis.

FAQ's

Kidney disease is diagnosed with a blood test measuring creatinine levels to assess kidney function; higher levels suggest decreased kidney performance. A urine test checks for protein and blood, which, if present in large amounts, may indicate a kidney problem. Additional tests might be needed to identify the underlying cause.

Dialysis is a medical procedure that purifies the blood by removing toxins and waste, usually filtered by the kidneys. It is necessary when kidneys aren't functioning optimally, helping to maintain the balance of chemicals, fluids, and salts for normal bodily functions.

A kidney biopsy involves removing small samples of kidney tissue for examination under a microscope. It helps determine the cause and severity of kidney problems and the best treatment. It is also used to assess a transplanted kidney and evaluate unexplained decreases in kidney function or persistent blood or protein in the urine.
