Dialysis helps restore a healthier quality of life.
Your kidneys remove waste and excess fluid from your body. They also filter out acids produced by cells to maintain a healthy balance of water, salts and minerals in your blood, such as sodium calcium, phosphorus and potassium. If your kidneys aren’t working properly, dialysis is essential to sustaining health and improving quality of life for those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Dialysis Services at Colquitt Regional offer advanced equipment and specialized treatment in a comfortable setting with a highly trained, compassionate staff. Treatment includes hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis and is performed as a hospital inpatient, as an outpatient in our clinic or at home. Our inpatient unit features five treatment bays and can treat up to 10 patients at one time. Outpatient services are available at the Colquitt Regional Dialysis Clinic.
