Hospitalization area formed by a team of professionals who attend to patients with acute or chronic kidney disease who enter from the Emergency Department or on a scheduled basis for diagnosis and treatment. Likewise, care is also offered as consultants to the rest of the Hospital's Services.

• Renal biopsy with the support of the Radiodiagnostic Service
• Placement of temporary central catheters in patients requiring hemodialysis
• Renal replacement treatment:
  • Hospital hemodialysis in patients with acute renal failure
  • Hospital hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease
  • Hemodialysis in the Critical Care Unit

• Outpatient:
  • Chronic ambulatory hemodialysis program. Hemodialysis is a kidney replacement treatment based on circulating blood through a circuit outside the body where accumulated toxins and excess fluids are removed. Hemodialysis treatment is offered online, which has shown better tolerance and better clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease.
  • Peritoneal dialysis program. Renal replacement treatment based on the elimination of toxins and water from the body in which the blood is filtered through a natural membrane, which is the peritoneum.
    • Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Manual process of peritoneal dialysis that requires doing the treatment 3 to 4 times a day. Indicated in patients with heart failure.
    • Automatic peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis with the help of a machine (cycler) that allows the treatment to be done automatically. Usually the treatment is done at night while the patient sleeps.
• Hospital:

  • Hemodialysis in the Critical Care Unit.
  • Other renal purification therapies such as HFR-Supra in coadjuvant treatment in hematological diseases such as multiple myeloma.
