About Engels Nephrology center

On February 2, 2015 on the basis of City hospital No. 1 of Engels the Department of program hemodialysis was opened. Hemodialysis is a method of extra-renal blood purification in acute and chronic renal failure. This method of treatment is lifelong.

Hemodialysis sessions are held 3 times a week for 4 hours. Initially, the Department was equipped with 8 devices "artificial kidney" German company B. Braun, which was designed to provide specialized medical care to 48 patients. However, as a result of the first year, it became clear that the need for assistance is much greater. In this connection, it was decided to build a specialized medical center.

In June 2016, a hemodialysis center equipped with 30 artificial kidney machines of the German company B. Braun was put into operation. The work of the hemodialysis center is organized in 3 shifts. At the moment, 120 people are being treated in our dialysis center. These are residents of Engels and surrounding areas. Our center has been developing dynamically since January 2019 of the Department of conservative Nephrology.
