Pediatric Hemodialysis

Pediatric hemodialysis is a medical treatment used for children whose kidneys are not functioning properly. It involves using a machine to filter waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood, much like healthy kidneys would do. During this process, blood is drawn out of the body, cleaned in the machine, and then returned to the child. Hemodialysis helps manage conditions like kidney failure, ensuring the child maintains overall health and balance of essential substances in the body. Treatments typically occur several times a week and are tailored to each child's needs.
