Hemodialysis
Despite significant improvements in the quality and efficacy of hemodialysis therapy in recent years, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for dialysis patients. Today, almost every other dialysis patient dies from cardiovascular complications. Fresenius Medical Care supports nephrologists worldwide in minimizing their patients’ risks for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
HighVolumeHDF therapy as well as innovative membranes like Helixoneplus and modern monitoring features like the Blood Volume Monitor, together with ultrapure dialysis fluid, help minimize CVD risk factors and significantly improve the quality and efficacy of hemodialysis therapy.

Acute therapies
Fresenius Medical Care offers a variety of therapies to treat acute kidney injury (AKI). Treatment is aimed at meeting each patient's specific needs, and is usually provided in critical care or intensive care unit (ICU) settings.
While chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual reduction in kidney function over time, AKI is sudden damage to the kidneys for various reasons such as reduced blood supply to the kidneys from a heart attack or major surgery, damage to kidney tissue by certain medicines, radioactive dye or severe infection and urine flow obstruction from kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.
The injury is often short-term and kidney function recovers over time. AKI is treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to mimic the kidney's natural functions
Understanding peritoneal dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis treatment is so called, because the blood is filtered in the peritoneum – the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity.
The peritoneal cavity stores the dialysis fluid and the filtration takes place across the peritoneum. Toxins and excess fluid cross the peritoneal membrane during the prescribed dwell time.
A permanent tube, or catheter, is inserted into the peritoneal cavity. Through which, dialysis fluid is fed into the cavity and left to absorb the impurities from the blood. Later, the fluid is drained-off into a bag and replaced with fresh fluid.
This process, of filling and draining, can be done manually during the day. Or done automatically at night with a cycler. Either way you will need to feel capable and confident to handle the procedure.
