Peritoneal Dialysis is a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneal membrane (the lining of the abdominal cavity), as a filter to eliminate waste products and excess fluids from your blood. Peritoneal Dialysis gives you the ability to perform your therapy independently and be in control of your treatment, unlike hemodialysis, which is usually performed in a hospital based setting. This is a process in which a dialysis solution is filled into your abdomen through a catheter and left to rest in the body for few hours, where it absorbs waste and after that, it is drained and replaced with fresh solution. This procedure is performed on daily basis.
There are two types of Peritoneal Dialysis that are designed to diverse needs of the patients.
Peritoneal Dialysis is suitable for patients those who:
At NU Hospitals, we assess each patient’s condition to determine whether Peritoneal Dialysis is the best option. Our experts work closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan that ensures the best outcomes.
Once the abdomen and general condition of the patient is assessed; a surgery is performed to insert the Peritoneal Dialysis catheter into the abdomen. Then a titanium adapter and transfer set are connected to this catheter. The dialysis solution is flushed initially through this catheter to observe for any leaks and for wound healing. Once there is adequate healing, the procedure is initiated with adequate volume of peritoneal solution being filled into the abdomen via the catheter. The solution is left in the abdomen for a couple of hours and while it is there it picks up the waste materials out of the blood via the peritoneal membrane. After this, the solution is drained and the fresh solution is filled into the patient. This procedure is performed in an incremental manner during admission and the procedure is taught to the patient and a family member who can perform the procedure ensuring that all the steps are by-hearted. Once the procedure is learnt and the patient tolerates an amount of fluid, the prescription for the procedure is made. The validation of this prescription will be done again during follow up after assessing the membrane characteristics of the peritoneum as it differs with each individual.
At NU Hospitals, our patients receive careful guidance throughout the whole treatment process, and we help them get ready for their dialysis treatments accordingly.
The cost of Peritoneal Dialysis can relate to the personal medical requirements of the patient and the duration of the treatment. We at NU Hospitals do our utmost to provide affordable and in-depth care.

The cost of Peritoneal Dialysis can differ from INR 20,000 to INR 50,000, based on the type of dialysis, the frequency of treatment, and the hospital location.
Peritoneal Dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane to filter waste from the blood. Hemodialysis uses a dialyzer (artificial kidney with hollow fibres) and a dialysis machine to purify blood and is usually done in a clinic or hospital.
Yes, Peritoneal Dialysis provides greater freedom to travel since it can be done manually with portable equipment. You’ll just need to plan ahead for supply deliveries.
