Dialysis

Dialysis is a medical procedure that serves as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in individuals suffering from kidney failure or severe kidney disease. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood while maintaining the body’s electrolyte balance. When the kidneys fail, dialysis helps perform these essential functions, ensuring that harmful substances do not accumulate in the body, which could be life-threatening. Dialysis is often required when a person develops end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or experiences acute kidney injury, where the kidneys are no longer capable of functioning adequately. This treatment is not a cure for kidney disease but rather a means to sustain life until a kidney transplant becomes an option or to help manage chronic kidney conditions effectively.

Comprehensive renal replacement therapy options are available at DESUN for patients with chronic kidney failure. Dialysis specialists in Kolkata provide patients with comprehensive care, including:

• In-centre haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
