Dialysis At Home Or Hospital

Dialysis at Home or Hospital Support Dhaka | Specialized Care - AdvanCell

For individuals suffering from chronic pain, degenerative joint conditions, or injuries that resist conventional treatments, the prospect of true tissue repair and regeneration offers immense hope. Stem Cell Therapy, a cutting-edge approach in Regenerative Medicine, aims to harness the body's innate healing capabilities to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore function.

Understanding Dialysis and the Need for Specialized Support

Dialysis is a life-sustaining medical treatment for individuals with kidney failure (End-Stage Renal Disease - ESRD) or acute kidney injury. It performs the functions of the kidneys by removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood. The two primary types of dialysis are:

• Hemodialysis: Blood is filtered outside the body using a machine. This typically occurs in a hospital or dialysis center, but can also be done at home with proper training and equipment.

• Peritoneal Dialysis: A fluid is introduced into the abdomen through a catheter, where it absorbs waste products from the blood, and is then drained. This is primarily a home-based therapy.

Living with dialysis is a profound commitment that impacts every aspect of a patient's life. Patients often face:

• Physical Fatigue & Weakness: Common side effects of kidney failure and the dialysis process itself.

• Fluid & Electrolyte Imbalances: Requiring strict dietary and fluid restrictions.

• Vascular Access Site Care (for hemodialysis): Meticulous care of fistulas, grafts, or catheters to prevent infection and dysfunction.

• Peritoneal Catheter Site Care (for peritoneal dialysis): Essential to prevent peritonitis.

• Nutritional Challenges: Specific dietary needs to manage potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and protein intake.

• Mobility Issues & Deconditioning: Due to chronic illness and reduced physical activity.

• Psychological Impact: Dealing with a chronic illness and the demands of treatment.
