Hemodialysis is the process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure. It helps maintain salt and water balance in the body.

Types of Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is commonly utilised in paediatric and adult populations, with treatment administered at specialised dialysis centres under the supervision of trained nursing staff. Sessions are scheduled three times weekly and last between three and four hours per session. This treatment regimen is meticulously planned and executed to ensure optimal patient care and management of renal conditions.
A growing trend in the management of renal conditions involves home hemodialysis, wherein patients undergo treatment in the comfort of their residences. Through comprehensive training, patients and their caregivers acquire the necessary skills to perform dialysis safely and effectively, along with proficiency in managing potential complications.
Nocturnal hemodialysis is a therapeutic modality offered both within clinical settings and in domiciliary environments that entails an extended, slow-paced treatment regimen spanning 6 to 8 hours. Administered during nocturnal hours while the patient sleeps, this approach typically occurs with a frequency ranging from 3 to 6 nights per week, tailored to individual physiological responses and treatment needs.
