What is Dialysis?<\/h3>

Dialysis<\/strong> is a life-saving treatment for people whose kidneys are no longer able to function properly. Healthy kidneys filter waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. When the kidneys fail, these harmful substances\u2014such as urea, creatinine, and acids<\/strong>\u2014accumulate in the body.<\/p>

At Sarkar Hospital, Agra<\/strong>, dialysis performs the essential work of the kidneys by removing waste products, excess fluids, and balancing electrolytes<\/strong>, helping patients maintain a stable and healthy life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why Do People Need Dialysis?<\/h3>

Dialysis becomes necessary when a person develops advanced or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)<\/strong> or kidney failure. Common causes include:<\/p>

  • High blood pressure<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Diabetes<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Autoimmune diseases (such as lupus)<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

  • Chronic kidney disease of unknown cause<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    Kidney failure may develop gradually over time or suddenly due to severe illness, injury, or infection. In some cases of acute kidney failure<\/strong>, kidney function may recover with timely treatment.<\/p>

    Kidney disease has five stages<\/strong>. In Stage 5<\/strong>, kidney function falls below 15%, and dialysis or kidney transplantation is essential for survival<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Is Dialysis a Serious Treatment?<\/strong><\/h4>

    Yes. Dialysis is a critical and essential treatment. Without dialysis or a kidney transplant, kidney failure is fatal<\/strong>. If dialysis is stopped or not initiated when needed, toxins accumulate in the blood (a condition called uremia<\/strong>), which can be life-threatening within days or weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    How Common is Dialysis?<\/strong><\/h4>

    Dialysis is widely used worldwide. More than 2 million people globally<\/strong> rely on dialysis or kidney transplantation to manage kidney failure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    1. Hemodialysis<\/strong><\/h5>

    Hemodialysis<\/strong> is the most commonly used form of dialysis.<\/p>

    How it works:<\/h5>

    • Blood is removed from the body through a vein (usually in the arm)<\/p><\/li>

    • It passes through a dialyzer (artificial kidney)<\/strong> that filters waste<\/p><\/li>

    • Clean blood is returned to the body<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      Treatment schedule:<\/h5>

      • Usually 3 sessions per week<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

      • Each session lasts 3\u20134 hours<\/strong><\/p><\/li>

      • Available as in-center dialysis<\/strong> or home dialysis<\/strong> (for selected patients)<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

        Before starting hemodialysis, a vascular access<\/strong> (artery and vein connection) is created surgically to allow smooth blood flow during treatment.<\/p>

        2. Peritoneal Dialysis<\/strong><\/h5>

        Peritoneal dialysis<\/strong> uses the inner lining of the abdomen (peritoneum<\/strong>) as a natural filter.<\/p>

        How it works:<\/h5>

        • A dialysis fluid (dialysate<\/strong>) is introduced into the abdomen<\/p><\/li>

        • Waste products move from the blood into the fluid<\/p><\/li>

        • The fluid is then drained outside the body<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

          Types of Peritoneal Dialysis:<\/h5>

          • CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis)<\/strong><\/p>

            • Manual exchanges<\/p><\/li>

            • Performed 3\u20135 times daily<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li>

            • APD (Automated Peritoneal Dialysis)<\/strong><\/p>

              • Uses a machine<\/p><\/li>

              • Usually done overnight while sleeping<\/strong><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                A soft catheter is surgically placed in the abdomen before starting treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
