Some patients may continue with stable kidney function for years without requiring dialysis. Others may show relentless worsening and reach a stage necessitating dialysis.

There are two types of dialysis:

• Hemodialysis that uses a machine to purify the blood directly after circulating through an artificial kidney or filter.
• Peritoneal Dialysis – this is done through the abdomen where the peritoneal membrane filters the wastes and excess water from the body.

BLK Hospital Dialysis unit has 8 dedicated beds.

It has a Gamro Machine with Centralized O2 / Suction and Air Compressor.

It is under constant supervision by well trained Dialysis technicians & Doctors.
