adminHIV positive renal patients in dilemma
Peter Matambanadzo Senior Reporter
MAJOR public hospitals are facing an acute shortage of dialysis machines with major referal centres excluding renal patients living with HIV and Aids from treatment.
Also excluded are those suffering from Hepatitis B.
Harare Central and Parirenyatwa hospitals have 20 machines and the measure was effected to avoid cross-contamination by HIV and Hepatitis B.
Every four to five hour diaysis session costs at least US$200.
The process involves removing waste and excess water from blood, primarily used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in people with renal failure.
Dialysis is regarded as a “holding measure” until a kidney transplant can be performed, or sometimes as the only supportive measure
