Kidney Dialysis
Kidney dialysis in hemolytic uremic syndrome is the medical treatment that uses dialysis to remove waste and extra fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not working well in people with hemolytic uremic syndrome. Kidney dialysis is much faster than waiting for the kidneys to recover, which can take a long time. In some cases, it can be done at home. Kidney dialysis is part of regular follow-up visits with your doctor in people who have hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a condition that worsens as blood travels through the body to essential organs, such as the kidneys. Without dialysis treatment, where blood is filtered outside of the body, this can lead to kidney failure and permanent damage. Dialysis helps restore a kidney’s function and helps clear out the waste from your bloodstream.
