Kidneys are the organs that help filter waste products from
the blood. They are also involved in regulating blood pressure,
electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production in the body.
Symptoms of kidney failure are due to the build-up of waste products
in the body that may cause weakness, shortness of breath, lethargy,
and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream
may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. Initially
kidney failure may cause no symptoms. Unlike many diseases, kidney
disease often has no symptoms until it is very advanced.
Kidney disease is usually a progressive disease, which means that
the damage in the kidneys tends to be permanent and can't be undone.
So it is important to identify kidney disease early before the
damage is done. The good news is that kidney disease can be treated
very effectively if it is caught in the early stages. This is
very important, since kidney disease also makes your risks for
heart disease and stroke higher.
Treatment for kidney disease can help relieve symptoms, slow or
prevent progression of the condition, and reduce the risk of developing
related problems.
When you or someone you love is diagnosed with
kidney (renal) failure, you want the very best care available.
Dialysis is used primarily as an artificial replacement for lost
kidney function in people with kidney failure. It may be used
for those with acute kidney injury or CKD stage 5. Dialysis is
regarded as a "holding measure" until a kidney transplant can
be performed.
Our Medical Centre offers safe, accessible and affordable dialysis
services. Our team of expert
nephrologists, nurses and dietitians are committed to providing
professional care and capable of supporting high dependency and
complicated cases. Our mission is to be healthcare partner of choice for dialysis procedures.
In today's busy world, it's easy to put off preventive health
care. It's time to make your health a priority. Annual health
maintenance is a medical appointment that provides preventive
services, counseling, education and disease screening, based on
your age and gender.
Our Annual Physical Services is a comprehensive personalized medical
evaluation, designed specifically for you. Our services usually

Immunizations are an important part of staying
healthy throughout adult life. There are specific vaccine recommendations
for different ages and adult circumstances. Some adults may be
more at risk for certain diseases due to age, a preexisting illnesses,
certain lifestyle, or type and locations of travel.
Vaccine-preventable diseases are infectious diseases that can
be prevented by immunization (vaccination). Traditionally, vaccines
have been associated with protecting young children, but far too
many adults become ill, are disabled, and die each year from diseases
that could easily have been prevented by vaccines. Vaccines not
only prevent disease in the people who receive them but often
create "herd immunity", meaning that even unvaccinated individuals
are at lower risk of disease if most of their community is immunized.
Everyone from young adults to older adults can benefit from immunizations.

Preventive health is best described
as "warding off disease".
It is a process of making small regular decisions and taking positive
action on health, diet, relationships, exercise and lifestyle.
These actions give your body the best chance of remaining free
from disease. Good health is defined as a balance of physical,
emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual health. Preventive
health is the science and art of helping people change their lifestyle
to move toward a state of optimal health.
Our aim is to provide quality and affordable healthcare services
by increasing awareness and access to
preventive healthcare.

and screening tests - at no cost to you; services such as
Blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol
tests

mammograms and colonoscopies
Counseling on such topics as quitting
smoking, losing weight, eating healthfully, treating depression,
and reducing alcohol use
Counseling, screening, and vaccines
