Our Dialysis & Patient Care Treatments
At Kendall Kidney Center LLC, we provide a complete range of treatments designed to support patients and families throughout every stage of kidney care.
About Dialysis
Dialysis is a type of treatment that helps your body remove extra fluid and waste products from your blood when the kidneys are not able to. Dialysis was first used successfully in the 1940’s and became a standard treatment for kidney failure starting in the 1970s. Since then, millions of patients have been helped by these treatments.
Uses
- Acute kidney injury (AKI): a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or days. AKI is usually treated in a hospital setting with intravenous fluids (given through the vein). In severe cases, dialysis may also be needed for a short time until the kidneys get better.
- Kidney failure: when 10-15% of your kidney function remains, measured by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 15 mL/min. At this stage, your kidneys are no longer able to keep you alive without some extra help.
How it works
Dialysis performs some of the duties that your kidney usually does to keep your body in balance, such as:
- helping to regulate your blood pressure
- removing waste and extra fluids in your body to prevent them from building up in the body
- keeping safe levels of minerals in your blood, such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and bicarbonate
Hemodialysis (HD)
In-center hemodialysis is the most common treatment for kidney failure. At Kendall Kidney Center LLC, patients receive dialysis in a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment. Using advanced technology, our care team helps remove waste and extra fluid from your blood while monitoring your health every step of the way.
- Treatments performed by skilled nurses and supervised by nephrologists.
- Comfortable treatment stations with personalized attention.
- Continuous monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
- Flexible scheduling designed to fit your routine.
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a flexible treatment option that can be performed at home, giving patients more independence and control over their kidney care. Instead of using a machine to filter the blood directly, PD uses the lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) to remove waste and excess fluid through a special cleansing solution.
- Training and guidance from our medical team before starting PD.
- The ability to perform dialysis at home, at work, or while traveling.
- Regular follow-ups with your nephrologist for ongoing supervision.
- Greater flexibility and comfort for daily life.
