What Is Hemodialysis?
Hemodialysis is a life-sustaining treatment used to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys can no longer function properly. It is essential for patients suffering from advanced kidney failure or chronic kidney disease.

Who Needs Hemodialysis?
The procedure is used to treat:
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
- Chronic kidney failure
- Acute kidney injuries
- Toxin build-up due to metabolic dysfunction
Common causes include diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune conditions, genetic disorders, and severe infections.
The Hemodialysis Procedure
Before each session, the patient undergoes a brief medical assessment including blood pressure, weight, and pulse checks. Vascular access is established via an arteriovenous (AV) fistula or catheter.
Blood is then drawn, filtered through a dialyzer (artificial kidney), and returned to the body. Each session lasts several hours and may be performed multiple times per week depending on the patient’s condition.
Ichilov ensures minimal waiting and quick access to dialysis without waiting, even for travelers or those needing dialysis hospital abroad.
