Dialysis support
At TidalHealth, our team supports you and your family through every stage of dialysis. When your kidneys cannot filter waste, salt and excess fluid from your blood, dialysis helps restore balance. It is a life-support treatment for people with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.
Our Approach to Dialysis Support
Our nephrologists are specially trained in kidney health and provide care for people who need dialysis. Services are offered in both hospital and clinic settings, supporting inpatient and outpatient care. We also care for patients before and after kidney transplants and provide education on chronic kidney disease and dialysis options.
Types of Dialysis We Provide
- Hemodialysis: A specialized membrane filters your blood to remove waste and excess fluid.
- Peritoneal dialysis: The lining of your abdomen and a cleansing solution filter waste from your body.
We understand that starting dialysis can be overwhelming. Our team is committed to answering your questions, guiding you through treatment options and helping you feel as comfortable as possible throughout your care.
