2. ICU Bedside Dialysis Services
ICU Bedside Dialysis is a service provided in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for patients with kidney failure who require dialysis while remaining in the ICU for critical care.
Patients may need bedside dialysis if they have acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease that requires dialysis while they are critically ill or unstable.
Bedside dialysis is performed using specialized equipment and techniques to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood while the patient remains in the ICU.
Bedside dialysis allows for continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients without needing to transport them to a separate dialysis unit, which can be safer and more convenient.
Risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to the dialysis procedure. The ICU team closely monitors patients to manage and minimize these risks.
3. Urology
Urology is a medical specialty that focuses on the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra) and the male reproductive system (prostate, testicles, penis).
These can include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, blood in the urine, difficulty emptying the bladder, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lower back pain.
Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle habits (smoking), and certain medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure).
Maintain a healthy weight, drink plenty of fluids, avoid smoking, and eat a balanced diet.
Tests may include urinalysis, urine culture, blood tests, imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan), and urodynamic testing.
