Introduction

This department is primarily recognized for its dialysis treatments, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, which are utilized for managing acute and chronic uremia, poisoning, and heatstroke. Furthermore, the department specializes in the management of patients with electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, conditions that can impact the entire body. Common symptoms of these imbalances include altered consciousness, general weakness, and arrhythmias.
