We can help when the kidneys fail
When the kidneys are not working well enough to filter the blood normally, dialysis might be needed to maintain health. One form of dialysis is called hemodialysis, which involves using needles to draw blood away from the body to a dialysis machine that washes the blood before returning the blood back to the body.
A hemodialysis (HD) access is needed for needles to be inserted into the bloodstream. This usually involves surgically connecting a vein to a nearby artery in the arm. Sometimes, it is best to use a prosthetic tube, or graft, that can be surgically attached at one end to an artery and at the other end to a vein.
Hemodialysis maintenance
Dr. Hill specializes in providing the best type of access for each individual patient in need of hemodialysis. We also work hard to help maintain a working hemodialysis access by doing catheter-based, “touch-up” procedures to treat any areas of concern that, if left untreated, could cause the access to fail. Our focus is always on the best possible quality-of-life for our patients. We will do whatever it takes to help our patients manage their hemodialysis access as they live with dialysis as their “new normal” routine.
