Vascular Access for Haemodialysis

Overview

Haemodialysis is a treatment that removes waste products and excess fluid from your blood when your kidneys can no longer do so effectively. This treatment involves filtering your blood through a machine outside your body.

To perform haemodialysis, a vascular access must be created. An access is a site from which blood can be extracted and then safely reintroduced into your body.

Conditions We Treat

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring haemodialysis.
