The Renal Unit works closely with the Wolverhampton and other local
diabetes services to provide care for those people whose kidneys are
starting to fail. It provides services for a total catchment population of
approximately 750,000, including Wolverhampton, Walsall and parts of South
Staffordshire and Shropshire.
The renal unit provides dialysis facilities for about
approximately 340 chronic patients. 260 patients are on haemodialysis and 70
on peritoneal dialysis. Emergency haemodialysis facilities are located on the
New Cross hospital site, with satellite haemodialysis facilities available
for chronic stable patients at Walsall, Tipton and Cannock.
In addition, we
look after 100 patients with renal transplants, and there is a full service
available to patients with chronic renal failure, not yet on dialysis. Plasma
exchange is also provided through the renal unit. Weekly out patients are
also run at Walsall Manor Hospital and Cannock Chase Hospital. |
