There is no exclusion criteria on the basis of infectious diseases, all are treated using the standard precautions. Biocompatible membrane based dialyzers are routinely used with volumetric ultra-filtration. The water is purified using reverse osmosis.
The Haemodialysis unit has 17 dialysis stations with separate station for Hepatitis B patients. The patients will need two or three treatments per week for 3 or 4 hours in each session.
The dialysis unit is backed by state-of-the-art Reverse Osmosis water treatment system, and the quality of water is maintained according to the international standards. R.O. (Reverse osmosis) water for dialysis ensures patient safety and prevents long term complications on haemodialysis. The latest dialysis machines are inclusive of various sensors, meters gauges, monitors, blood leak detectors, computerized apparatus detection systems, various modules measures details & data when the dialysis is in progress.

Hemodiafiltration (HDF)
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
We are one of the few centres in India to provide highly sophisticated dialysis for critically ill patients in ICU / CCU with multi-organ failure where peritoneal or routine haemodialysis are not possible for various reasons.
Advantages of CRRT
Plasmapheresis and Plasma Exchange
The facilities for Plasmapheresis and Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) are available for renal and non renal patients such as GB syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Various diseases like Goodpasture's syndrome, Hemolytic Uremic syndrome, TTP, Cryoglobulinemia, RPGN (SLE, ANCA-related) can be treated with Plasmapheresis. It is done using Plama filter and 5% Albumin or fresh Plasma.
Hemoperfusion in Poisoning
This procedure is performed using Charcoal cartridge, with an average treatment time of few hours. It is a life saving technique for treating overdoses of sleeping pills, drugs and other poisons.
Peritoneal Dialysis
The aim of the Peritoneal dialysis department is to support patients carrying out their peritoneal dialysis at home. This can be continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) by machine.
With CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) a thin tube, called a catheter, is surgically implanted into the abdominal wall. The tube hangs down into the abdominal cavity. You will need to drain a cleaning solution called dialysate through the tube 3 or 4 times a day (having first drained off the used fluid which carries the toxic waste matters away from your body as your kidneys used to do).
CAPD takes place inside the body using the natural lining of the abdomen called the Peritoneum. The Peritoneum acts as the dialysis membrane. In order to do your dialysis by CAPD, you will need to have a small operation (which takes place under a local or general anesthesia) to insert a catheter into your abdomen; CAPD is usually done at home, 4 times every day. It takes less than 30 minutes each time and is a very simple, painless procedure. Because dialysis is carried out at home, patients must be able and willing to take major responsibility for their own care.
The patient will receive expert training from the CAPD nurse, which will give him / her all the expertise and confidence he/she need to be independent. Patient will always have the support and advice of the Renal Unit when needed. And can lead a normal active, working life.
