dialüüsikeskuses

Dialüüsikeskus is an Estonian term that translates to "dialysis center." A dialysis center is a healthcare facility where patients with kidney failure undergo dialysis treatment. Dialysis is a life-sustaining medical procedure that artificially performs the functions of the kidneys, primarily filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so effectively.

Patients who require dialysis typically visit a dialysis center multiple times a week for their treatments, which can last several hours each. The center is staffed by trained medical professionals, including nephrologists, nurses, and technicians, who oversee the dialysis process. They ensure the equipment is functioning correctly, monitor the patient's vital signs and overall well-being during treatment, and manage any complications that may arise.

Dialysis centers offer different types of dialysis, most commonly hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis involves using a machine to clean the blood, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen as a filter. The choice of treatment often depends on the patient's individual medical condition and preferences. Dialysis centers play a crucial role in managing chronic kidney disease and improving the quality of life for affected individuals.
