There are 5 beds with separate hemodialysis machine for each bed and experienced staff and techinician available for each shift fully equiped with central oxygen supply,multiparameter monitor. patients getting treated under tamil nadu chief ministers scheme.

• The three main approaches are:
  • Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD)
  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD)
  • Continuous renal replacement therapies (CRRT)

  The choice will depend on factors such as the patient’s situation, availability, and cost.

Intermittent hemodialysis

In hemodialysis, the blood circulates outside the body. It goes through a machine with special filters.

The blood comes out of the patient through a flexible tube known as a catheter. The tube is inserted into the vein.

Peritoneal dialysis

While hemodialysis removes impurities by filtering the blood, peritoneal dialysis works through diffusion.

In peritoneal dialysis, a sterile dialysate solution, rich in minerals and glucose, is run through a tube into the peritoneal cavity, the abdominal body cavity that surrounds the intestine. It has a semi-permeable membrane, the peritoneal membrane

There are two main types of peritoneal dialysis:

Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) requires no machinery, and the patient or a caregiver can do it.

The dialysate is left in the abdomen for up to 8 hours and then replaced with a fresh solution straight away. This happens every day, four or five times per day.

Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), or automated peritoneal dialysis uses a machine to exchange the fluids. It is generally done every night, while the patient sleeps.
