Peace of Mind with Safe Dialysis (hemodialysis) in Kyoto

At Takeda Hospital Hemodialysis Center, in addition to the standard Hemodialysis, we also actively provide hemodiafiltration (on-line HDF, and off-line HDF), as well as Intermittent Infusion Hemodiafiltration (I-HDF).
A great amount of dialysis fluid is required for the dialysis treatment, with part of the dialysate (dialysis fluid) coming into contact with the direct hemoperfusion as replacement fluid, therefore we have always made it a priority to make purification a priority.
We are thorough about water purification for the dialysate, regularly performing tests on the dialysate, as well as maintaining strict standards of water quality for the dialysate which are advocated by academic institutes.
Safe and secure blood purification therapy is provided under the direction of president Toshiya Takeda, former physician and clinical engineer and director of the hemodialysis center at Takeda Hospital. Nurses, pharmacists, registered dietitians, and social workers all work as together as one team to provide reliable dialysis treatment.

In Japan, dialysis treatment for travelers is not covered by medical insurance and is paid fully at one’s expense, therefore payment in full is required in advance.
However, after returning to your country, it may be possible to apply for and receive a reimbursement. If a reimbursement is possible, please make sure that you receive any and all necessary documents.
We hand out receipts for medical treatment (or any required medical documents such as those certifying consultation) at the hospital at the time of payment.
