What is Dialysis?

What is Dialysis?

The kidneys are the filters of your body, and dialysis is a treatment that helps filter waste products, salt and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys lose function, also known as kidney failure. Dialysis also helps restore electrolyte balance and controls blood pressure.

At Lima Memorial, you will find the latest in innovative dialysis treatments, including home peritoneal dialysis and inpatient hemodialysis.
