Dialysis Treatment in Gurgaon (Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis)

Safe, Comfortable Dialysis Care in Gurgaon

When kidneys can no longer filter waste and excess fluid from the blood on their own, dialysis becomes essential to sustain life and maintain quality of life. At NephroUroCare, we offer both Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis, guided by experienced nephrologists and supported by modern equipment and a dedicated care team.

We understand that starting dialysis can feel overwhelming. Our approach focuses on helping patients and families understand their options and choose the treatment that best fits their medical needs and lifestyle.

What is Dialysis?

Dialysis is a treatment that performs the function of healthy kidneys — removing waste products, excess salt, and fluid from the blood — when the kidneys can no longer do so effectively on their own. It is typically recommended when kidney function drops to Stage 5 (kidney failure), though it may also be used temporarily in cases of severe Acute Kidney Injury.

There are two main types of dialysis:

Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis is the most common form of dialysis. Blood is drawn from the body, filtered through a machine called a dialyzer (which acts as an artificial kidney), and then returned to the body — removing waste and excess fluid in the process.

How Hemodialysis Works

• A vascular access point (fistula, graft, or catheter) is created, usually in the arm, to allow blood to flow to and from the dialysis machine
• Sessions are typically performed 3 times a week
• Each session usually lasts 3–4 hours
• Can be done at a dialysis centre or, in select cases, at home

Types of Vascular Access

• AV Fistula — A connection between an artery and vein, considered the gold standard for long-term access due to lower infection risk
• AV Graft — Used when a fistula isn’t possible, using a synthetic tube to connect artery and vein
• Central Venous Catheter — Used for short-term or urgent dialysis needs

Who is Hemodialysis For?

Hemodialysis is suitable for most patients with kidney failure, particularly those who prefer supervised, centre-based treatment or don’t have a suitable home environment for self-managed dialysis.

Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen (the peritoneum) as a natural filter. A special fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, which absorbs waste and excess fluid from the blood vessels lining the abdomen before being drained out.

How Peritoneal Dialysis Works

• A soft catheter is surgically placed in the abdomen
• Dialysis fluid is introduced and left in the abdominal cavity for a set period (a process called a “dwell”)
• The fluid, now containing waste products, is drained out and replaced with fresh fluid
• Can be performed manually (CAPD) multiple times a day, or overnight using a machine (APD)

Who is Peritoneal Dialysis For?

Peritoneal dialysis is often preferred by patients who want more independence and flexibility, as it can typically be done at home without daily travel to a dialysis centre. It may also be gentler on the cardiovascular system compared to hemodialysis.

Hemodialysis vs Peritoneal Dialysis

The right choice depends on your medical condition, lifestyle, home environment, and personal preference — our nephrology team will guide you through this decision.

When is Dialysis Needed?

Dialysis is generally recommended when:

• Kidney function (eGFR) drops below 15
• Symptoms of kidney failure appear — severe fatigue, swelling, breathlessness, nausea
• Dangerous buildup of potassium or fluid that cannot be managed with medication alone
• As a temporary measure during severe Acute Kidney Injury, until kidney function recovers
