HOLY SUNDAY.– The Centers for Diagnosis, Advanced Medicine and Telemedicine (Cedimat) have inaugurated the new Comprehensive Center for Nephrology and Urology, designed to offer complete and specialized care in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the urinary system, the male reproductive system, as well as the care of the kidneys and urinary tract in general.
Dr. Octavio Cruz Pineda, medical coordinator of Urology, highlighted that the center is positioned as one of the most complete in the country, offering all urology specialties.
In addition, it is the only urology service that manages a kidney transplant program, benefiting patients with advanced chronic kidney failure and those who are already on dialysis.
“Our team of highly trained doctors and nurses provides comprehensive and personalized care, from the initial evaluation to postoperative follow-up, ensuring that transplant patients can lead a full and healthy life,” commented Cruz Pineda.
Among the main advances of the center, Dr. Ronald Valdez, medical coordinator of Nephrology, highlighted the implementation of hemodiafiltration, an innovative method that combines conventional hemodialysis and hemofiltration, allowing more effective control of waste with a lower risk of complications.
“This innovative method allows solute removal by diffusion and convection, providing patients with options between hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration, thus improving their experience and results,” explained Valdez. The unit has 37 state-of-the-art hemodialysis machines.
