Dialysis at MaAx Super Speciality Hospital

What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

Dialysis is a life-saving procedure used when the kidneys can no longer filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, dialysis is recommended for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure. It helps maintain balance in the body by removing toxins, regulating electrolytes, and preventing fluid overload.

How the Treatment Is Performed

Hemodialysis: Blood is drawn from the body, passed through a dialysis machine that filters waste, and returned clean.
Peritoneal Dialysis: A cleansing fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity, which absorbs waste before being drained.
Sessions typically last 3–4 hours and are performed several times a week.
Patients are monitored closely to ensure safety and comfort.
