Haemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that uses a dialysis machine to clean your blood, and is necessary for people in kidney failure. During each session, the machine gently draws blood from your body, passes it through a special filter (called a dialyser) to remove waste, extra fluid, and salts, and then returns the cleaned blood back to you.
Each treatment usually lasts about four hours and is ideally completed three times a week, allowing your body to maintain a safe balance of fluids and minerals between sessions.
High-quality dialysis makes a big difference for your health and well-being. Patients who receive regular, high-quality dialysis not only feel better day to day but also live longer, healthier lives.
Symptoms of inadequate dialysis can include: tiredness or weakness, nausea or poor appetite, loss of body weight, trouble sleeping, swelling (ankles, feet, hands), and shortness of breath.
