“We provide customized dialysis treatment through accurate early diagnosis.”

Kidneys are fist-sized organs located on both sides of the back. They are important organs responsible for removing wastes and water from the blood, regulating electrolyte and acid-base balance, removing drugs and toxins from the body, hematopoietic function to make blood, secreting hormones to maintain strong bones, and controlling blood pressure.

Chronic renal failure is diagnosed when kidney function continues to weaken for more than 3 months. At this stage, the function does not return to normal and often gets progressively worse. Therefore, without kidney replacement therapy, such as kidney transplant, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, life may not be extended. For this reason, early detection of kidney disease is of utmost importance.

Those who are tired, often bloated, dizzy, have poor appetite, and have poor digestion. Those who have diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or are obese, even if there are no symptoms. Those who showed hematuria or proteinuria in a urine test. Those with a family history of kidney disease. Those who take various medications and supplements. Those who are scheduled to have an examination using a contrast agent. These people must have their kidneys checked. This is because, if an abnormality is detected early and treated appropriately, it can be cured and the exacerbation can be delayed as much as possible depending on the disease.

Therefore, this center is treating patients with acute and chronic renal failure and sepsis with 24-hour hemodiafiltration therapy in the intensive care unit. In the artificial kidney room, 36 hemodialysis equipment (FMC 5008S) and state-of-the-art facilities that allow various dialysis methods tailored to the patient, such as high-flow, high-efficiency dialysis. In addition, dialysis specialists and an experienced nursing team are helping patients with end-stage renal disease for safe and comfortable dialysis. Therefore, we are doing our best in close cooperation with various departments to detect complications early and prolong a healthy lifespan.
