What is Hemodialysis and Why is it Necessary?
Chronic kidney failure is a condition where the kidneys are unable to perform their vital functions such as filtering the blood, removing waste products (like urea, creatinine) from the body, and maintaining fluid-electrolyte balance. In this case, Hemodialysis treatment is a life-saving medical procedure that performs these vital functions outside the body with the help of an artificial kidney (dialyzer) and an advanced machine.
At Bali Dialysis Center, hemodialysis, which is the main service we offer, is performed accompanied by our state-of-the-art devices and our experienced expert medical staff. The main goal of the treatment is not only to extend the life span of our patients but to bring their quality of life as close as possible to that of a healthy individual. Our center provides hemodialysis service in international sterilization standards, based on safety and patient comfort.
State-of-the-Art Dialysis Machines and Biocompatible Filters
In our clinics, the latest technology devices of the world's leading medical brands (Fresenius, Gambro / Baxter, etc.) are used to flawlessly apply dialysis programs adapted to each patient's individual tolerance. Our advanced ultrafiltration-controlled devices minimize sudden fluctuations in the cardiovascular systems of the patients, thereby preventing cramps, weakness, and post-dialysis fatigue.
In the selection of the artificial kidney (dialyzer / filter) that comes into direct contact with blood during treatment, we prefer completely biocompatible, single-use (disposable) synthetic membranes. Biocompatible filters do not trigger the patient's immune system and minimize the risk of chronic inflammation. As Bali Dialysis Center, we strictly oppose the reuse of filters or blood lines and do not apply this method under any circumstances. Our standard is to open brand new, sealed medical sets for every patient in every session.
Expert Nephrologist and Responsible Physician Follow-up
Hemodialysis treatment is not merely an act of connecting to a machine; it is a highly complicated medical follow-up requiring attention and multidisciplinary expertise. Each hemodialysis session in our center is carried out under the supervision of our Responsible Dialysis Physician and consultant Nephrology Specialist.
Machine parameters are individualized and updated every session according to our patients' monthly blood tests, cardiological conditions (heart attack/heart failure risks), and bone-mineral metabolisms. The slightest drop in blood pressure (hypotension) or rhythm disorder that may occur during dialysis is instantly intervened by our nurses and physicians with intensive care experience. Our emergency intervention unit (Defibrillator and Crash Cart) is constantly ready for use for your safety.
A Comfortable and Sterile Treatment Environment
Our biggest goal is to make our patients, who spend time in our clinic three days a week (an average of 4 hours), feel as if they are in their own living room rather than a hospital environment. Our halls are designed with a spacious, wide, and daylight-receiving architecture.
- We have electronic patient beds / chairs for each of our patients that are fully orthopedic, motorized, with customizable head, back, and foot sections.
- With personalized LCD televisions and free (Wi-Fi) high-speed internet access, you can spend your time during treatment without getting bored.
- Our halls are equipped with central air conditioning and HEPA-filtered ventilation (infection control) systems.
- To eliminate the risk of cross-infection (Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C), our patients receive care in completely isolated VIP-like separate treatment halls with separate devices.
Bali Dialysis Center proudly offers you a professional hemodialysis service where health, sincerity, and comfort blend seamlessly in the company of your specially assigned nurse and dietitian, allowing you to confidently step into the future.
