Take informed steps to protect your kidney health

What Is Hemodialysis?

It is the process of removing harmful substances that accumulate in the body of patients with kidney failure. This process is based on removing waste products and excess fluids from the blood through a device.

In order to perform hemodialysis, an appropriate vascular access must be created. The duration of treatment, frequency, and session plan are determined individually according to the patient’s medical condition.

What Is Hemodialysis?
Vascular Access

Vascular Access

Temporary Vascular Access ( Catheter )

Catheter can be inserted through the groin, under the collarbone, or the neck. It is preferred in emergencies because it can be used immediately after insertion (in emergencies).

Permanent Vascular Access (Fistula or Graft)

Fistula is the surgical connection of two blood vessels.
Graft is a method in which an artificial blood vessel is placed.
Both methods generally require a 4–6 week healing period before they can be used.

Hemodialysis Process

Hemodialysis Process

The blood taken from the patient is cleaned by the dialysis machine and returned to the body through the same vascular access. During this process, the blood is purified from toxins, excess fluid, and metabolic waste.

Treatment sessions are generally planned 2 or 3 times per week. The duration and frequency are determined individually for each patient.

All procedures at IDC Antalya Dialysis Center are performed in a sterile environment using modern equipment and single-use materials.

With the fistula option, which is the most preferred vascular access method, a slight pain may be felt during needle insertion; however, this pain usually subsides within the first 1–5 minutes of dialysis. Our expert nurses and dialysis technicians use various access techniques to minimize discomfort as much as possible.

Each patient’s test results, body measurements, and treatment methods are different. A personalized diet plan should be applied. Our expert dietitian prepares an individualized diet plan for each patient and adjusts it according to test results.

Although it varies depending on the treatment method, therapy is generally administered 3 days a week for 4 hours each session.
