Kidney failure continues to rise worldwide. The challenge is to offer high quality dialysis treatment that can help several renal failure patients to live a normal, longer and healthy life.

Diabetes, Chronic glomerulonephritis, Polycystic kidney disease, Nephrosclerosis (hypertensive), Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Interstitial nephritis

What does dialysis do?

Dialysis does the job that is normally performed by the kidneys - that is, it removes waste products from the blood and excess water from the body.

How does dialysis work?

There are two methods of dialysis: haemodialysis, which involves filtering out waste by passing blood through an artificial kidney machine, and peritoneal dialysis, where a catheter is inserted into the abdomen.
