Quality renal care services now at Araneta City

Renal care at MakatiMed Care Access Araneta City

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition that some Filipinos struggle with, affecting about 7 million Filipinos. While often asymptomatic in the early stages, symptoms to watch out for include foamy or bubbly urine, loss of energy and concentration, and disrupted sleep, said nephrology specialist Dr,. Frederick H. Verano of Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed). Neglecting renal health despite these symptoms may lead to end-stage renal disease, also known as CKD5.

As this stage indicates kidney failure, CKD5 usually requires dialysis, which may be costly for many Filipinos. Given this, the hemodialysis unit of MakatiMed Care Access Araneta City has significantly enhanced its patient care services by offering no copay treatments or out-of-pocket expenses in alignment with the new PhilHealth program. This initiative underscores MakatiMed’s commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible, particularly for those requiring hemodialysis.

Aside from no copay treatments, MakatiMed Care Access Araneta City continues to offer single-use dialyzers and hemodiafiltration at low costs. This ensures that patients receive the best possible care without the burden of high expenses.

Among the services that are currently offered are hemodialysis, sustained low-efficiency dialysis, and hemodiafiltration. MakatiMed Care Access Araneta City has top-of-the-line machines like high-flux dialyzers. MakatiMed nephrology specialists, physicians, and highly trained hemodialysis nurses are present to address and attend to each patient’s needs.
