Treatment Options
Dialysis
Dialysis is the process of artificially removing excess water and toxins from the blood in those whose own kidneys have lost the ability to naturally perform these functions. The two (2) major forms of dialysis: Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis.
Hemodialysis occurs within SAHEL HEALTH’s own facilities or its hospital/health system partner’s facilities and include a staff of highly trained physicians, nurses and technicians who care for all patients in the same manner, at the same time. The filter used in a dialysis machine is called a dialyzer. A dialyzer is a safe, plastic tube with hollow fibers that allow the passage of water, electrolytes and other microscopic waste products from the blood as needed to bring the body back into balance. The clean blood is then returned to your body. In most parts of the world, patients receive the highest quality outcomes and care when they attend to their dialysis treatments three (3) times a week for three (3) to four (4) hours each treatment session.
Peritoneal Dialysis occurs when a cleansing dextrose solution flows through a catheter into a part of the patient’s abdomen and filters waste products from his/her blood using one’s own body (the peritoneum) as the filter. After a period of time designated by the patient’s physicians, the fluid with filtered waste product flows out of the abdomen and is discarded appropriately. Peritoneal dialysis requires multiple daily exchanges of this cleansing solution, seven days a week and often overnight as well.
Transplant
A kidney transplant is a surgery performed to place a healthy kidney from another individual (the donor) and is placed into a patient’s body (the recipient). The healthy kidney may come from a living donor or a deceased organ donor. Family members or friends who are a good match and in good health may be able to donate one of their own kidneys. This type of transplant is called a living donor transplant.
People who donate a kidney may live long, healthy lives with the one (1) healthy remaining kidney. While transplantation is often preferred to dialysis, some patients are not appropriate candidates for transplantation. If you are interested in a kidney transplant, please consult with your doctor and SAHEL HEALTH clinical leadership to help decide which treatment or transplant option may be best.
