Job Description

About the unit

Adult Patients needing dialysis. Dialysis is performed on patients with Acute Kidney Injury.  Patients who have or have had an acute illness requiring ICU care can need dialysis support while their kidneys recover from a critical illness.  The acute intensive care conditions are most commonly: trauma with shock, cardiothoracic surgeries (including transplants), heart failure with fluid overload, liver failure, and sepsis or sepsis-like conditions (COVID).  There are instances where dialysis partners with Pheresis to support patients needing both to stabilize their body from an autoimmune process. Hemodialysis is sometimes performed on patients who have taken drug overdoses.  When it is determined that the drug can be removed with dialysis and doing so will help to stabilize the patient more quickly and help to preserve organ function (kidney and liver especially), dialysis is performed at the patient’s ICU bedside.
