Our Approach to Dialysis Care

Starting dialysis is a significant transition that requires careful medical supervision and ongoing adjustment. With decades of combined experience, our physicians work closely with dialysis facilities throughout the San Fernando Valley to ensure you receive coordinated, personalized care. We help you understand your options, optimize your treatment plan, and maintain the best possible quality of life while on dialysis.

Understanding Dialysis Treatment

Dialysis becomes necessary when your kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products and excess fluid from your blood. This typically occurs when kidney function drops below 10-15% of normal capacity. Choosing the right dialysis approach and maintaining proper medical oversight are essential for achieving the best possible outcomes.

Types of Dialysis

Several dialysis options are available, each with distinct advantages:

Hemodialysis (in-center treatment)
Home Hemodialysis
Peritoneal Dialysis
Continuous care options

Signs You May Need Dialysis

As kidney function declines, you may experience symptoms that indicate dialysis is becoming necessary:

Severe fatigue and weakness
Shortness of breath
Nausea and loss of appetite
Swelling in legs, ankles, or around the eyes
Difficulty thinking clearly
Muscle cramps or restless legs
