Chronic kidney disease patients in Ninh Binh and neighboring provinces no longer have to endure the hardship of traveling to Ha Noi to create vascular access or undergo advanced hemodialysis techniques. Right at the Bach Mai Hospital Ninh Binh facility, patients can now access synchronized modern renal replacement therapy services, ranging from arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery and tunneled catheter placement to HDF Online hemodialysis and plasma exchange.

For end-stage chronic kidney disease patients, the treatment journey often spans many years and is tied to the hemodialysis machine. Not a few people must regularly travel dozens or even hundreds of kilometers to undergo vascular interventions or high-tech hemodialysis at central-level hospitals. This not only affects health but also creates immense pressure regarding time, costs, and the daily lives of the entire family.

To help patients access high-tech services right in their locality, the Center for Nephrology - Urology and Dialysis at the Bach Mai Hospital Ninh Binh facility has synchronously deployed many specialized techniques in renal replacement therapy, meeting the medical examination and treatment needs of people in the region.

Doctors at the Center for Nephrology - Urology and Dialysis perform arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery and tunneled catheter placement for patients at the Bach Mai Hospital Ninh Binh facility.

Proactively Establishing Vascular Access - The "Key" to Long-Term Treatment

For hemodialysis patients, a stable vascular access is the decisive factor for long-term treatment efficacy.

Currently, the team of doctors at the Center for Nephrology - Urology and Dialysis has directly examined, prescribed, and performed arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation surgery as well as tunneled catheter placement right at the Bach Mai Hospital Ninh Binh facility.

Performing these techniques within a modern, standardized operating theater system helps patients prepare thoroughly before entering the regular hemodialysis stage, while reducing the risk of infection, limiting complications, and eliminating the need for transfer to Ha Noi.

Deploying Advanced Hemodialysis Techniques

Not only performing vascular access interventions, the Center has also been invested with new-generation hemodialysis machine systems along with strict standard R.O. water treatment systems.

Alongside routine hemodialysis (HD), the hospital has deployed high-tech HDF Online hemodialysis and HD combined with hemoperfusion filters. These are advanced techniques that effectively remove medium and large molecular weight toxins - the causes of many complications such as bone and joint pain, prolonged itching, fatigue, and decreased quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients.

Notably, the plasma exchange technique has also been deployed in the treatment of complex renal and immunological pathologies, opening up further treatment opportunities for many severe cases right locally.

High-Tech Treatment Right Locally

Mastering synchronized techniques from vascular access creation to high-tech hemodialysis enables patients to receive comprehensive treatment without having to transfer to central-level hospitals.

According to the doctors, this brings many practical benefits:

• Saving time and costs: Patients are examined, operated on, and treated right in Ninh Binh, significantly reducing travel, accommodation, and effort costs for both patients and their families.
• Synchronized professional quality: Patients are directly examined and treated by a team of experienced doctors and nurses in the field of nephrology - urology and dialysis.
• Modern equipment systems: Standardized operating theaters fully equipped with anesthesia-resuscitation systems, monitoring devices, and surgical support facilities ensure safety during treatment.

The synchronized deployment of specialized techniques at the Center for Nephrology - Urology and Dialysis not only helps people in Ninh Binh and neighboring provinces access high-quality medical services locally, but also contributes to reducing the overload on central-level hospitals, materializing the goal of bringing high-tech closer to patients.
