ARTIFICIAL KIDNEY DIALYSIS CENTRE

The AKD department has 10 advanced computerised volumetric haemodialysis machines. The AKD also has seven remote fitted dialysis chairs. Two hemodialysis machines are kept at the ICU for dialysing critically ill patients.

Reverse osmosis water treatment system provides ultra pure water to all the machines. The system is fitted with stainless steel pipes, and loops for recirculating water. This mechanism avoids the water stagnation. 

Infected patients are dialysed on separate machines.

We have patient friendly dialysis unit. Some of our dialysis units operate at night. This facility would suit employed patients.

Patient Education Programmes

We hold an interactive session, every quarterly. Doctors educate patients on topics such as kidney diseases and good living with dialysis.

• The procedure for dialysis can take anytime between 3 - 4 hrs each session.
• Usually, dialysis is required 3 times (sessions) in a week, for the remaining life. With each session costing Rs. 700/- dialysis is an expensive treatment.
• Some patients, for the lack of money, get dialysis done only once a week, thus hampering their health further.
• It is our endeavor to help such patients by providing them as many free dialysis as possible.
