Dialysis and Kidney Failure treatments at VIR Chicago focus on providing advanced, minimally invasive solutions to manage end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and other kidney conditions. Our comprehensive approach ensures patients receive the best possible care to maintain their health and quality of life.
Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula Creation
Percutaneous Arteriovenous Fistula (pAVF) Creation is a minimally invasive procedure to create a connection between an artery and a vein for hemodialysis access. This technique reduces recovery time and complications compared to traditional surgical methods. At VIR Chicago, we utilize the latest technology to perform pAVF with precision and effectiveness.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is an alternative to hemodialysis that uses the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) to filter waste from the blood. This home-based therapy offers flexibility and independence. Our team at VIR Chicago provides comprehensive training and support for patients choosing peritoneal dialysis.
Fistula and Graft Maintenance
Regular Fistula and Graft Maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of dialysis access points. This includes monitoring, cleaning, and repairing the access sites to prevent complications such as clotting or infection. VIR Chicago’s specialists are experienced in maintaining and optimizing dialysis access for our patients.
