Hemofiltration is a renal replacement therapy similar to hemodialysis which is used almost exclusively in the intensive care setting for critically ill patients in acute renal failure who are unstable for hemodialysis.
It is a slow continuous therapy in which sessions usually last between 12 to 24 hours and are usually performed daily. In Nigeria most health facilities do not have adequate hemodialysis and hemofiltration services.
Our services are design to ensure availability of adequate hemodialysis and hemofiltration services to patients in intensive care Units. These services will be available on demand to healthcare facilities and providers in Nigeria.
