Dialysis Programme
Kidney disease can significantly impact your quality of life. When kidneys fail to filter waste from your blood, harmful substances build up, leading to severe health complications. Dialysis is a life-saving treatment that acts as an artificial kidney, removing waste and excess fluid from your blood.
At AKUH, our dialysis programme offers comprehensive care and support to patients with kidney failure. We offer state-of-the-art treatments, delivered by a team of highly skilled professionals, to help you manage your condition and improve your overall well-being.
