The physicians are highly experienced and technically skilled; the nurses follow standardized operating procedures and possess proficient puncture techniques and experience in caring for arteriovenous fistulas; the department was one of the relatively early units in the province to conduct quality monitoring of dialysis water. In addition to hemodialysis, our department also provides patients with comprehensive health education.

In addition to routine hemodialysis, our department has developed various new technologies. It can currently perform various blood purification techniques, including hemodiafiltration, hemoperfusion, blood exchange, continuous blood purification, and other techniques. It works closely with all clinical departments to rescue critically ill patients with multiple-organ failure, liver failure, acute poisoning, and other critical conditions, achieving good results.
