Dialysis Clinic in Chatham, North Carolina

In-center hemodialysis is commonly scheduled three times per week, with each treatment lasting about three to five hours; an individual schedule is set by the nephrologist.

Ask about available treatment shifts, transportation options, vascular-access care, emergency coverage, and how the clinic coordinates with your nephrologist.

Call 911 for severe shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, confusion, or uncontrolled bleeding from the access site. Contact the dialysis care team promptly for fever, access redness or swelling, or a missed treatment.

Medicare generally covers dialysis for people with end-stage renal disease who meet eligibility requirements; Medicaid and private-plan coverage vary, so confirm benefits and out-of-pocket costs before starting.
