What is Dialysis?
Dialysis is a life-saving procedure for individuals whose kidneys are no longer functioning. Dialysis cleanses the blood by removing waste and excess fluid, similar to how healthy kidneys do. Having the proper center to go to is the key to maintaining health and quality of life.
Dr. Kosha Patel is a prominent nephrologist in Ahmedabad who provides excellent care at one of the best dialysis clinics in the city. Patients undergo treatment here using the latest machines, with custom-tailored treatment and maximum physical and psychological support during treatment. With well-trained staff and high-tech facilities, the center provides each session of dialysis as comfortable and effective as it can be.
Types of Dialysis
There are two different modalities of dialysis, Haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. In haemodialysis, blood is filtered through a machine outside the body. For peritoneal Dialysis, a cleansing liquid is infused through a catheter into the peritoneal cavity:
Haemodialysis (HD) Patients
Blood is taken away from the body and purified in a dialyser and then “clean” blood is infused back into the body

Symptoms of CKD:
Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) often develop gradually and may go unnoticed in the early stages. As the condition progresses, individuals may experience fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating due to the buildup of waste products in the blood.
- Decreased urination
- Swelling over feet not relieved with medication
- Vomiting, nausea, and lack of appetite
- Breathlessness
- Inability to sleep
- Increase in creatinine and potassium
Do’s and Don’ts for dialysis patients.
Patients who are on Dialysis require special care that covers the following:
Dietary Restrictions
Only a few fruits are good to eat and the rest should be left out. Moreover eliminate the phosphorus-rich foods, i.e. canned foods, sodas, and dairy products, from your diet to save the kidneys from working too hard
Fluid Intake Restriction
Not to exceed, say, 1 litter of the fluid taken per day as it is important not to retain liquid in the body.
Medications
Use the doctor's recommended medications to control conditions such as high blood pressure, anaemia, or bone disease, which may negatively affect kidney health.
Regular Monitoring
Take regular blood tests, and visit the physician to get a comprehension of the amount of damage that has been caused by kidney disease and to adjust your treatment accordingly.
Emotional Support
There is nothing better than remaining proactive and seeking the help of others in order to deal with the emotional and mental challenges that can accompany living with chronic kidney disease.
