Home Hemodialysis
Home hemodialysis with the NxStage System One allows patients to manage their kidney treatment easily at home, usually five or six times a week. Registered nurses teach patients and their caregivers how to handle their own care, giving them greater control over their health. The system is user-friendly and portable.
Benefits include:
- Less heart strain
- Better sleep
- Faster recovery
- More energy
- Improved blood pressure
- Greater control over treatment
- Fewer dietary restrictions
- A Spanish-speaking registered nurse is available upon request
Outpatient Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is a treatment that takes place outside of a hospital, usually three times a week for four hours at a time.
A team of healthcare professionals, including nurses and a technician, performs the procedure. A machine called a dialyzer cleans the blood by removing waste and extra fluids. Access to the blood is done through a small connection in the arm or a temporary chest tube.
