Peritoneal dialysis is an advanced, patient-friendly treatment option for individuals with kidney failure or severe kidney dysfunction. At Bhatia Hospital, recognized as the best nephrology hospital in Mumbai, we provide expert care for peritoneal dialysis, enabling patients to manage their condition with flexibility and ease. Our dedicated team ensures comprehensive guidance and personalized support throughout the treatment process.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that uses the lining of the abdomen, known as the peritoneum, as a natural filter to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood. It involves:

• Introducing a dialysis solution into the abdominal cavity through a soft catheter.
• Allowing the solution to absorb waste and excess fluid from the blood.
• Draining the solution after a set period, removing the waste along with it.

Peritoneal dialysis can be performed at home, giving patients greater independence and control over their treatment schedule.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneal dialysis is often recommended for patients experiencing:

• Fatigue and Weakness: Due to accumulation of waste products in the blood.
• Swelling (Edema): Fluid retention in the feet, ankles, or face caused by poor kidney function.
• Shortness of Breath: Resulting from fluid buildup in the lungs.
• Nausea and Vomiting: Symptoms of advanced kidney disease.
• High Blood Pressure: That is difficult to control with medication alone.
• Electrolyte Imbalances: Such as elevated potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
