Having kidney disease isn’t exactly the life we all imagined we’re going to live. Finding out that you have to go through countless dialysis treatments is truly disconcerting and frightening all at once. For both the patients and their loved ones, anxious thoughts such as “What is dialysis? Will it hurt?” “Will I be attached to a machine for the rest of my life?” “How will my family be affected? How will my life change?” easily come about.

However, all these fears can slowly be taken away once you familiarise yourself with the topic of kidney dialysis. In this page, we hope to provide useful answers to your concerns and take away the stigma revolving around kidney dialysis.

As a starter, we like our patients to know that although kidney failure is irreversible, going on dialysis treatment is not 「the end」 of their lives. As a matter of fact, dialysis is a life saving treatment.  Approaching dialysis with a positive outlook and committing to make necessary lifestyle adjustments will help you continue to live well and lead productive a life.
