How often is dialysis done?

Blood needs to flow through the dialyzer for several hours to adequately clean the blood and rid the body of excess fluid. Traditional, in-center hemodialysis is generally done three times a week for about four hours each session. Your doctor will prescribe how long your treatments will be, usually between 3 to 5 hours, but most common is 4 hours. Talk to your doctor about how long you should be on hemodialysis. Some people feel that dialysis lasts a long time; however, healthy kidneys work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and dialysis must do the job in only 12 or so hours a week.

Vascular Access

A Fistula is created by sewing an artery and vein together, most often in an arm. Arteries carry Oxygen to the rest of the body.

The artery vessels selected for a fistula are large and have a good blood flow but are deep below the skin and hard to reach with needles. On the contrary veins are easy to reach, but too small and too slow flowing for dialysis. Linking an artery and a vein is the best solution. In 4-6 weeks, high-pressure blood flow from the artery thickens the vein wall and make it enlarge so large needles can be used. Because a fistula is below the skin, it is less prone to infection and clotting than other types of access.

A fistula can last for years, and it is the best type of access now available. New surgical techniques and ways to assess and preserve blood vessels have made fistulae an option for more patients.
