Dialysis

We offer both hemodialysis, which relies on an artificial kidney to filter blood outside of a patient’s body, and peritoneal dialysis, where a small catheter is placed into a patient’s abdomen to filter the blood internally. Depending on what makes the most sense for your unique situation, dialysis services can be provided in our centers.

Dialysis services are available for patients with a wide range of medical conditions, including:

• Auto-immune diseases that attack the kidneys
• Chronic urinary tract obstructions
• Glomerulonephritis, an inflammation of the blood vessels that help filter the blood
• Kidney failure related to high blood pressure or diabetes
• Polycystic kidney disease

Dialysis is often a long-term treatment and may make up just one aspect of your kidney disease treatment. So we make it simple for all of your physicians at Florida Medical Clinic to stay up-to-date on your progress through our electronic health records system. This digital record seamlessly allows our nephrologists, cardiologists, nutritionists, and any other specialists to access your treatment plans and test results easily. It also allows us to monitor your chronic conditions over many years.
