Hemodialysis at BluePearl

When pets are suffering from kidney failure, dialysis gives them time for their kidneys to recover. This treatment option uses a catheter to connect the patient to the machine which then filters the blood for the kidneys. It removes toxins while allowing the patient to feel better and giving them time to heal.
There are many reasons why a pet can experience kidney failure. They might eat something toxic that damages the kidneys or they may have chronic kidney disease. When dialysis is sought as a treatment option earlier in the disease process, recovery is generally much more likely. Most patients treated with dialysis will also receive blood transfusions. This makes access to a blood bank very important.
