Kidney dialysis: haemodialysis
In the normal, healthy body, waste products are removed from the blood by the kidneys. This allows the body to get rid of toxic products we create, such as the urea (the waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins and usually passed in urine), as the body repairs its tissues. The kidneys also play a vital role in the control of salt and water balance in the body. If the kidneys start to fail, both of these functions can start to go awry. Serious illness develops and although various treatments are available to control some of the symptoms, the kidneys cannot recover. Eventually, if end-stage kidney failure develops, you will need to have your blood cleaned artificially, by dialysis. This involves the removal of extra water and waste substances from your blood.
Kidney dialysis: peritoneal dialysis
Should you require peritoneal dialysis here at The London Clinic, our multidisciplinary team can provide the preferred peritoneal dialysis service, whether you have CAPD or APD. We use the Baxter HomeChoice® machine for patients who need APD.
Kidney failure diagnosis and treatment
The symptoms of kidney failure are varied and can occur with a number of other conditions, so a blood or urine test is needed to confirm a diagnosis. In the case of acute kidney injury, the treatment is usually to remove or correct the cause. This can involve: removal of any blockage, such as kidney stones or blood clots, intravenous fluids (injection of fluids into your bloodstream) to correct dehydration, treatment of any infection or inflammation and treatment of underlying illness or injury.
Kidney stones treatment
If your urologist believes that the stone is too big to pass unaided or is causing an obstruction, you may need surgery to remove it. This may include: tunnel surgery or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and ureterorenoscopy.
Kidney transplantation
Please note that The London Clinic no longer offers this surgery.
Knee arthroscopy
An arthroscopy allows your surgeon to diagnose and treat some common problems affecting your knee, without the need for a large cut on your skin. This may reduce the amount of pain you feel and speed up your recovery. An all-inclusive package for this treatment is available at £3,100.
Knee replacement
If you have severe pain, stiffness and disability, a knee replacement should reduce your pain and help you to walk more easily.. An All-Inclusive Package for this treatment is available from £14,675.
Knee robotic surgery - NAVIO®
The NAVIO® surgical system is an innovative approach to all forms of knee replacement surgery. The London Clinic is one of the only hospitals in the UK to offer this surgical system which uses robotic technology to offer support to complement the skill of our orthopaedic surgeons.
