Dialysis is a medical treatment used to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Bushwick Center provides high-quality dialysis care, offering a range of treatment options to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Here are five key things to know about dialysis treatment:

Hemodialysis: This type of dialysis uses a machine to filter the blood and remove waste products. Patients typically receive hemodialysis treatments three times per week for several hours.

Peritoneal dialysis: This type of dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen to filter the blood. Patients typically perform peritoneal dialysis at home several times per day.

Home dialysis: Some patients may be able to perform dialysis treatments at home under the guidance of a healthcare professional. This can provide greater flexibility and convenience for patients.

In-center dialysis: This type of dialysis is performed at a dialysis center under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Bushwick Center offers in-center dialysis treatments.

Kidney transplant: In some cases, a kidney transplant may be an option for patients with kidney failure. Bushwick Center can guide and support patients considering this option.
