Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each treatment?
Most hemodialysis treatments last 3-4 hours, performed three times per week. Treatment duration depends on individual factors including body size, remaining kidney function, and fluid buildup between sessions. Your nephrologist determines the appropriate treatment time.
Can residents receive therapy on dialysis days?
Yes, therapy can be scheduled before or after dialysis treatments. However, many patients feel tired after dialysis, so therapy is often scheduled on non-dialysis days when energy levels are higher. Our rehab team coordinates with dialysis schedules to maximize recovery.
What if my dialysis access stops working?
Our dialysis nurses monitor vascular access carefully. If fistula or graft complications occur, we coordinate with vascular surgeons for repair or placement of temporary catheter access. Nephrologists can arrange urgent procedures when needed to ensure dialysis continues without interruption.
Can family members be present during dialysis?
Yes, family members are welcome to visit during dialysis treatments. Many families appreciate seeing the dialysis process and talking with dialysis staff. Visiting during dialysis can actually be convenient since residents are stationary for several hours.
