Over the last decade, only a few innovations took place in nephrology compared to the other medical branches such as cardiovascular medicine and oncology, and the transplantation is limited in availability. New technologies in hemodialysis therapy are still far from application which include portable machines, wearable artificial kidneys and bioartificial kidneys.
The Hemodialysis Center at Al Salam Hospital is one of the largest centers in the Eastern Province of KSA that offers top-notch dialysis services complying with the regional and international standards of health quality. The Center is equipped with the latest advances in medical Hemodialysis devices serving a variety of cases of renal diseases, and operated by a large team of multidisciplinary health services including nephrologists, dialysis nurses, renal dietitians, renal pharmacists, and biomedical engineers, working collaboratively with urologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, surgeons and other specialists to provide the most optimal care to patients suffering from kidney-related diseases. Here at AlSalam hospital, we are enthusiast about innovation and investment in nephrology and hope that next years will be witnessing change in the way of providing hemodialysis.
