EMC Tangerang Hospital Hemodialysis: Modern Dialysis Services for Kidney Failure Patients

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health problem in Indonesia. When kidney function declines significantly and is no longer able to filter waste, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood, patients require renal replacement therapy, one of which is hemodialysis , better known as dialysis . This therapy is not simply a routine medical procedure, but a crucial part of helping patients maintain their quality of life, stay active, and reduce the risk of complications.

For the people of Tangerang and the surrounding area, hemodialysis services at EMC Tangerang Hospital offer a solution, supported by experienced kidney and hypertension specialists, modern technology, and services focused on patient safety and comfort. The hospital also boasts a Kidney Center and hemodialysis facility, one of the largest in the EMC Healthcare network.

What is Hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a medical procedure that uses a special machine to filter blood when the kidneys are no longer able to function optimally. During this process, blood is passed through a dialyzer (an artificial kidney) to remove metabolic waste products, excess fluid, and balance electrolyte levels before the blood is returned to the body.

This therapy is generally performed on patients with:

  • End-stage chronic kidney disease (END STAGE KID)
  • Acute renal failure with certain indications
  • Fluid buildup that cannot be controlled with medication
  • Severe electrolyte disturbances such as hyperkalemia
  • Poisoning due to certain substances according to medical indications

The frequency of hemodialysis is usually 2–3 times per week , with a duration of around 4–5 hours per session , depending on the condition of each patient.

When Does Someone Need Hemodialysis?

Not all people with kidney disease require dialysis. Doctors will consider various factors, including kidney function, laboratory test results, and the patient's clinical condition.

Some signs that may indicate the need for hemodialysis include:

  • Swelling in the legs or face due to fluid buildup
  • Hard to breathe
  • Prolonged nausea and vomiting
  • Decreased appetite
  • Easily tired
  • Severe decline in kidney function based on laboratory tests

Early detection and treatment are very important so that patients receive therapy at the right time.
