Dialysis Center

What is a Dialysis Center?

A dialysis center is an outpatient facility that provides kidney dialysis treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease to filter waste from their blood. These centers offer hemodialysis services multiple times per week, helping patients whose kidneys can no longer effectively remove toxins and excess fluid from their bodies.

Why dialysis centers matter

  • Provides life-sustaining treatment: Offers essential kidney function replacement therapy for patients with kidney failure
  • Enables regular monitoring: Allows healthcare teams to track patients' health status and adjust treatments as needed
  • Supports quality of life: Helps patients maintain their daily activities and independence while managing chronic kidney disease
