Hemodialysis Center

The Hemodialysis Center at Vichaivej Hospital Omnoi specializes in providing comprehensive services for patients with end-stage renal disease and acute renal failure who require hemodialysis. The center is equipped with modern tools and technology, creating a comfortable and private environment for patients and their families. The team of kidney disease specialists ensures that the treatment process is convenient, efficient, and safe. 

Factors contributing to the deterioration of kidney function include genetic diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as the use of certain medications and exposure to various chemicals. Kidney-related diseases, such as kidney stones and chronic nephritis, can also directly impact kidney function. 

Early symptoms of kidney disease may include facial or feet swelling, back pain in the rib area, headaches or dizziness, frequent urination (especially at night), high blood pressure, and abnormal urine color or burning pain during urination. 

Services provided by the Hemodialysis Center include: 

• General hemodialysis: This involves the use of a hemodialysis machine to filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood. It is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease. 

• High-efficiency hemodialysis: This advanced form of hemodialysis utilizes an online hemodiafiltration machine to achieve more efficient removal of toxins and waste products from the blood. 

• Selective hemodialysis: This specialized form of hemodialysis caters to both chronic and acute cases, addressing specific patient needs. 

The center is equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and dedicated examination rooms, including high-efficiency hemodialysis machines and normal hemodialysis machines. The facility also adheres to international standards for the pure water system used in hemodialysis, ensuring the safety and quality of treatment. 

For patients and their families, the center provides guidance and recommendations for the care of permanent hemodialysis. This includes information on caring for intravenous catheters or plastic catheters, as well as post-operative care for those who have undergone permanent graft surgery for blood purification. Patients are advised on wound care, self-management techniques, and infection prevention measures. 

It is important for patients to adhere to their hemodialysis schedule, take proper care of the access site, and follow the instructions provided by their healthcare providers. Regular monitoring of the access site and awareness of any changes or symptoms are crucial in maintaining the effectiveness and safety of hemodialysis treatment. 

The Hemodialysis Center at Vichaivej Hospital Omnoi offers general, high-efficiency, and selective hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease and renal failure, using advanced technology in a safe, comfortable setting. Guidance on access site care, infection prevention, and post-operative care is provided.
