What Is Dialysis and Who Needs It?
When kidneys fail, dialysis takes over the job of filtering your blood. Here's what it involves.
Dialysis is a treatment that removes waste, salt, and extra fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so effectively. It is life-sustaining for people with kidney failure.
Who needs dialysis
- • People with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- • Sudden (acute) kidney failure in some cases.
- • Those waiting for a kidney transplant.
What to expect
- • Most patients on maintenance dialysis attend 2–3 sessions a week.

- • RMC offers modern dialysis suites, isolation dialysis, and Tirupur's first approved kidney transplant programme.
