A control group is essential in experiments involving people to measure the effect of the treatment by comparing it to a group that does not receive the treatment.

Why do people get dialysis treatment?
People get dialysis treatment when their kidneys are no longer able to effectively filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood. This typically happens in cases of advanced chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Without dialysis, harmful substances can build up in the body, leading to serious health complications. Dialysis serves as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function. It helps maintain the body’s balance of electrolytes, removes waste, and controls blood pressure — all essential for survival when the kidneys are not functioning properly. At Nephrox, we provide expert dialysis care with advanced equipment and experienced professionals, ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment in a safe and comfortable environment. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals living with kidney disease.
