What is In-Clinic Dialysis?
Dialysis is a medical procedure used to remove waste and excess fluids from the blood when kidneys are no longer functioning properly. There are two main types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. In hemodialysis, blood is drawn from a vein, filtered through an artificial kidney (dialyzer), and then returned to the body. This process can be performed at home, in hospitals, clinics, or specialized ambulances. When provided in medical facilities such as hospitals, clinics, or dedicated dialysis centers, it is known as in-clinic dialysis.
Despite common misconceptions, individuals undergoing dialysis can lead active and fulfilling lives with the help of high-quality treatments. With advanced dialysis techniques available today, patients can return to work, engage in sports, travel, and enjoy many of the activities that people with healthy kidneys can.
At Nephrocan, we prioritize patient care and well-being by providing protocol-driven dialysis treatments in our clinics. Our skilled and trained nurses and dialysis technicians adhere to our RenAssure protocols, which are designed to deliver high-quality dialysis and enable our patients to reclaim their lives. Our patients, including those who work full-time and participate in various activities, are a testament to the effectiveness of our approach.
What to Expect with In-Clinic Dialysis
Beginning dialysis therapy can be a new and potentially overwhelming experience. To help ease any concerns, it's essential to be well-prepared and well-informed. Understanding the process and working closely with your care team will ensure a smoother transition and more effective treatment.
By being proactive and well-informed, you can make the most of your dialysis experience and work closely with your care team to achieve the best possible outcomes.
The Nephrocan Way
All Nephrocan clinics nationwide adhere to the Nephrocan Way—a set of protocols developed by leading experts from around the globe.
RenAssure Protocols
RenAssure protocols cover every aspect of dialysis, from initiating and concluding a session to regular investigations and maintenance of dialysis and water treatment equipment. We firmly believe that maintaining high-quality care in dialysis clinics relies on standardization and strict adherence to these protocols.
Prevent Cross-Infections
Cross infections occur when infected blood comes into contact with healthy tissue. Hemodialysis fistulas, grafts, and catheters are also at risk of infection if not properly managed. Our team of trained professionals is dedicated to maintaining strict hygiene standards to prevent cross infections.
Safe Water Treatment Plans
We adhere strictly to international clinical operating standards. Our team of experts conducts monthly audits and staff training across all our clinics to ensure compliance with these protocols. We also maintain a standardized chart for our RO Water Plant, which is essential to the operation of our dialysis clinics.
Quality Audits
Regular audits help us uphold stringent quality protocols, high service standards, and exceptional care, resulting in greater guest satisfaction.
Disinfection
Each Nephrocan center is thoroughly disinfected according to standardized quality protocols to ensure optimal clinical outcomes and quality of life.
