About Kidney Dialysis in India

• The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are
  present just below the rib cage, on each side of
  spine. Kidneys remove waste from human body,
  level out blood pressure, and keep bones strong.
  Kidneys also makes sure that you are having the
  right amount of chemicals like potassium and
  sodium (salt) present in blood. Finally, kidneys
  make the hormone that causes human body to
  create red blood cells.
• Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the
  things which are performed by healthy kidneys.
  Dialysis is usually needed when the kidneys can
  no longer take care of their body's needs.
  Dialysis is a procedure that takes over kidney
  functionsif those organs stop doing their job.

What happens during Dialysis?

• Hemodialysis
• In hemodialysis, an artificial kidney
  (hemodialyzer) is used to remove waste and extra
  chemicals fluid from your blood. The doctor
  needs to make an access (entrance) into your
  blood vessels to get your blood into
  the artificial kidney. This is done by minor
  surgery to your arm or leg.
• Treatment for hemodialysis usually takes place in
  a hemodialysis unit. This is a special place that
  is equipped with machines that perform the
  dialysis treatment. The dialysis unit is also the
  place where patients can receive dietary
  counseling and help with social needs.

• Peritoneal Dialysis
• Your blood is cleaned inside your body. A special
  fluid is put into your abdomen to absorb waste
  from the blood that passes through small vessels
  in your abdominal cavity. The fluid is then
  drained away. Peritoneal dialysis is typically
  done at home.
• Peritoneal dialysis uses the inside lining of
  your abdomen (the peritoneum) as the filter,
  rather than a machine. Like the kidneys, the
  peritoneum contains thousands of tiny blood
  vessels, making it a useful filtering device.
• Before Peritoneal dialysis starts, an incision is
  made near your belly button and a thin tube
  called a catheter is inserted through the
  incision and into the space inside your abdomen
  (the peritoneal cavity). This is left in place
  permanently.

What are the benefits of dialysis?

• Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, has
  advantages and disadvantages. It depends on the
  patient and their kidney doctor to decide which
  of these treatments is best by considering his
  life style, other medical conditions, support
  systems, and the limits of responsibility and
  participation in the treatment program he
  desires. The patient must recognize that because
  of their medical condition, they may not be a
  candidate for one or the other type of dialysis.
  Each patient must see the two different types of
  dialysis procedures from their own perspective.
• Patients have certain responsibilities such as
  following a diet program, watching their fluid
  intake and taking special vitamins and
  other medicines to control blood pressure and
  calcium regardless of which type of dialysis is
  chosen.

  whole life unless you are able to get a kidney
  transplant if your kidneys have failed. Life
  expectancy on dialysis may vary depending on your
  other medical conditions and how well you follow
  your treatment plan. The average life expected on
  dialysis is 5-10 years however, many patients
  have lived well on dialysis for 20 or even 30

How long will anybody need dialysis for?

• It depends. In some cases, kidney failure may be
  a limited problem and dialysis can be stopped
  when your kidneys recover.
• But often, someone with kidney failure will need
  a kidney transplant. It's not always possible to
  carry out a kidney transplant straight away, so
  dialysis may be needed until a suitable donor
  kidney becomes available.
• Dialysis may be needed for the rest of your life
  if a kidney transplant is not suitable for you.
• Side effects of dialysis
• Hemodialysis can cause itchy skin and muscle
  cramps. Peritoneal dialysis can put you at risk
  of developing peritonitis(infection of the thin
  membrane that surrounds your abdomen).
