It’s your kidney’s job to filter and eliminate waste from the body. But what happens when the kidneys get damaged and loses its ability to function properly?

This is where dialysis treatment comes in handy. This is a treatment that helps replace some of the lost functions of the kidneys. Dialysis treatment is usually needed for patients in later stages of a chronic kidney disease.
