Pediatric Dialysis Treatment

Pediatric dialysis treatment is a medical procedure used for children whose kidneys are not functioning properly. It helps remove waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood, which the kidneys would normally filter out. There are two main types: hemodialysis, which involves using a machine to clean the blood, and peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter out impurities. Dialysis can be a temporary solution for acute kidney issues or a long-term treatment for chronic conditions, helping to maintain the child's health while awaiting a possible kidney transplant.
