Dialysis Treatment and Support / Dialysis Centers

How We Can Help
The Wichita Nephrology Group provides a complete range of dialysis treatment and support services for patients all over the state of Kansas who are living with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Dialysis treatments can:
- Keep your body in balance by removing waste, salt and extra water.
- Keep certain chemical levels within your blood safe.
- Control blood pressure.
Type of Dialysis
-
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis uses a special type of filter to remove excess waste products and water from the blood.
-
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis uses a fluid that is placed into the patient’s abdominal cavity through a special plastic tube to remove excess waste products and fluid from the body. The Wichita Nephrology Group, in association with DaVita Dialysis, oversees the largest peritoneal dialysis program in the United States.
