Intermittent Hemodialysis

Intermittent hemodialysis is a kidney replacement therapy performed at regular intervals. In this method, patients are typically connected to a dialysis machine for several sessions per week, each lasting a set period. The goal is to remove toxins and excess fluids from the blood, supporting kidney function.

This treatment method provides flexibility, as patients are not continuously attached to a machine. Blood purification occurs through short, scheduled sessions, allowing daily activities and social life to be less affected. Advanced machines and specialized filters are used to ensure effective cleansing during each session.

Intermittent hemodialysis is considered a safe and effective method for both acute and chronic kidney failure patients. The treatment plan is determined by the physician based on the patient’s overall health, kidney function, and fluid balance. Session frequency and duration are personalized according to individual needs.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Intermittent hemodialysis is suitable for patients with acute or chronic kidney failure. Individuals whose kidneys are unable to function properly and who need toxins and excess fluids removed from the blood can benefit from this method.

It is also an ideal option for patients who wish to maintain their daily routines and do not want to be continuously attached to a machine. Since treatment sessions are scheduled and short, the impact on social and work life is minimal.

Suitability for each patient should always be assessed by a nephrologist. Session frequency and duration are determined based on the patient’s overall health, fluid balance, and kidney function.
