What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is a medical procedure that substitutes for kidney function by filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood. It is used in patients with kidney failure or severe kidney impairment. Treatment schedules vary and require careful management to prevent complications. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders recognise your dialysis treatment and provide appropriate care.
