Pediatric Dialysis Unit |

When kidney function falls 10 percent below normal and an immediate kidney transplant is not available, dialysis must be started as a life-sustaining treatment. It is often difficult to accept, but our goal is to make the transition as safe and uneventful as possible. The Pediatric Dialysis Unit at Holtz Children's Hospital is one of the finest in the country. It is a recently renovated, state-of-the-art facility with both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis modalities. The hemodialysis facility has six individual stations (soon to expand to eight), including an isolation station providing as many as 35 outpatient treatments, six days per week. Patients are monitored for dialysis adequacy, and monthly multi-disciplinary patient reviews are held in accordance with national guidelines. Through personal care and individualized treatment, our staff is able to provide essential support to young patients and their families.
