Kidney Dialysis in India

Kidney dialysis is a life-saving procedure that removes waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney failure. Dialysis is essential when the kidneys can no longer perform their normal function effectively.

India offers state-of-the-art dialysis centers, experienced nephrologists, and comprehensive care for both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.

Types of Kidney Dialysis

  1. Hemodialysis (HD)

    • Blood is filtered through a dialysis machine and returned to the body

    • Usually performed 3 times per week at a dialysis center

    • Requires vascular access via fistula, graft, or catheter

  2. Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

    • Uses the peritoneum (lining of the abdomen) as a natural filter

    • Dialysate fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity to absorb waste

    • Can be performed at home with proper training

    • Types: Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD)
