Renal services
Our passionate and caring staff provide a friendly, professional and efficient approach to treatment.
Renal Dialysis is a treatment that filters the blood when your kidneys have stopped working properly. It removes toxins and fluids from your body that would normally be processed by the kidneys, and helps to maintain a normal blood pressure.
Some people may only need dialysis short-term, while others need dialysis because their kidneys no longer do the job properly, and will continue treatment for the rest of their lives.
Dialysis can impact your day-to-day life, however our team of Nephrologists, Vascular Surgeons, Registered Nurses, Dietitians, and Allied Health Professionals work together to minimise the effects of kidney failure and to ensure treatment allows you to live a full and active life.
