PHARMACY HOLIDAYS SCHEDULE
This holiday season, from December 23 to January 3, pharmacies will operate with reduced staff, and a temporary schedule will be in place to accommodate the needs of communities, while taking limited resources into account.

Hemodialysis

How does hemodialysis help you?

Hemodialysis:

helps control blood pressure
balance important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.

It can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.

How the machine works

Did you know?

During hemodialysis, your blood is pumped through soft tubes to a dialysis machine where it goes through a special filter called a dialyzer (also called an artificial kidney). With hemodialysis, the filtering membrane is called a dialyzer and is inside a dialysis machine. Your blood is circulated through the dialysis machine and cleaned before being returned to your body.
