Dialysis Unit in Secunderabad

At Shenoy Multi-Speciality Hospitals, our Dialysis Unit is built around one simple goal — to keep you safe, comfortable, and stable through every session of treatment. Whether you are managing chronic kidney disease or recovering from acute kidney failure, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

As one of the leading multispecialty hospitals in Marredpally, we understand that dialysis is not just a medical procedure — it is a lifelong commitment for many patients. We take that responsibility seriously.

Our unit is equipped with advanced dialysis machines and staffed by experienced nephrologists, trained dialysis technicians, and dedicated nursing staff who monitor your condition in real time throughout each session.

Whether you require haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or acute kidney injury management, we tailor your treatment plan to your specific medical condition, lifestyle, and long-term kidney health goals.

Understanding Our Dialysis Services

Dialysis is a medical treatment that performs the kidney's function of filtering waste products, excess salts, and fluids from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so on their own.

Our team provides dialysis services in Secunderabad that prioritize patient comfort, clinical safety, and long-term wellbeing.

We monitor your blood pressure, fluid balance, and electrolyte levels throughout each session, making real-time adjustments to ensure you remain stable and that the treatment is as effective as possible.

Pre-Dialysis Assessment

Your safety and treatment effectiveness begin before the session even starts.

• Medical History Review: Our nephrologist evaluates your kidney function reports, existing conditions, and current medications to design the right dialysis prescription for you.
• Access Assessment: We assess your vascular access — whether it is an AV fistula, graft, or temporary catheter — to ensure safe and effective blood flow during each session.
• Patient Counselling: For patients new to dialysis, we take time to explain the process, what to expect during sessions, and how to manage diet and fluid intake between treatments.

During Dialysis (Intra-Session Care)

Our team is present and attentive throughout every session.

• Continuous Vital Monitoring: Blood pressure, heart rate, and fluid removal rates are tracked continuously using modern dialysis machines with integrated monitoring.
• Precision Fluid Management: We calculate and control the exact volume of fluid to be removed per session based on your dry weight and fluid accumulation since the last session.
• Dialyser Management: We use high-quality, biocompatible dialysers suited to your clinical needs, ensuring efficient clearance of toxins like urea, creatinine, and potassium.

Post-Session Recovery Care

Our care does not stop when the machine does.

• Post-Session Monitoring: We check your blood pressure, weight, and access site condition after each session and ensure you are stable before you leave the unit.
• Dietary and Fluid Guidance: Our team advises you on fluid restriction, diet modifications, and warning signs to watch for between sessions, so you stay on track between visits.

Dialysis Options We Offer

We provide multiple modalities of renal replacement therapy depending on your condition, kidney function stage, and lifestyle.

Haemodialysis (HD)

The most common form of dialysis. Blood is drawn from your body, filtered through an artificial kidney (dialyser) to remove waste and excess fluid, and returned to your body. Sessions typically last 3 to 4 hours and are usually scheduled three times per week.

Acute Dialysis (AKI Management)

For patients admitted with Acute Kidney Injury due to infections, trauma, drug toxicity, or post-surgical complications, we provide emergency and intensive dialysis support in coordination with our ICU and critical care teams.

• Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis (SLED): Used for haemodynamically unstable patients in the ICU who cannot tolerate standard haemodialysis. A gentler, extended session that removes waste gradually without causing blood pressure drops.
• Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT): For critically ill patients, CRRT provides slow, round-the-clock filtration, minimising cardiovascular stress and allowing stable fluid management in the ICU setting.

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Initiation & Support

For patients who prefer home-based dialysis, we provide training, initiation, and follow-up support for Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). Using the peritoneal membrane as a natural filter, this modality allows patients to manage their dialysis at home with guidance from our nephrology team.

Emotional and Preventive Care

A diagnosis requiring long-term dialysis can be overwhelming. Beyond the clinical treatment, we address the emotional burden that comes with it.

Managing the Psychological Impact of Dialysis
Accepting that your kidneys need long-term support is a significant life adjustment. Our team takes time during every visit to address concerns, answer questions, and connect patients with counselling support when needed. We treat you as a person, not just a patient on a schedule.

Preventive Measures and Complication Management

• Infection Prevention: Strict aseptic protocols are followed at every access point — catheter sites, fistula needles, and PD ports — to prevent serious infections like septicaemia or peritonitis.
• Anaemia and Bone Disease Management: Chronic kidney disease commonly leads to anaemia and mineral imbalances. We proactively manage these with erythropoietin therapy, iron supplementation, and phosphate binders as part of your overall care plan.
• Access Preservation: A functioning AV fistula is a lifeline for dialysis patients. We monitor and preserve access sites carefully to maximise their longevity and avoid repeated procedures.

Why do costs vary?

• Type of Dialysis: Acute or ICU-based modalities like CRRT or SLED involve specialised equipment and round-the-clock monitoring, making them more resource-intensive than routine haemodialysis.
• Medications Required: Some patients need EPO injections, iron infusions, or specific dialysis concentrates that affect the per-session cost.
• Session Duration: Standard sessions run 3 to 4 hours, but patients with higher toxin loads or fluid overload may require extended sessions, which affects cost.

Our billing team provides a detailed estimate of all dialysis costs prior to starting treatment. We also assist with insurance and government health scheme documentation, including Aarogyasri and CGHS.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many times a week will I need dialysis?

Most patients on haemodialysis require three sessions per week, each lasting 3 to 4 hours. The exact schedule depends on your kidney function, fluid accumulation, and lab values. Some patients with residual kidney function may start with fewer sessions.

2. Is dialysis painful?

Dialysis itself is not painful. Patients with an AV fistula may feel mild discomfort from needle insertion at the start of each session. Some patients experience muscle cramps or a drop in blood pressure during the session, which our team manages promptly.

3. Can I eat and drink normally if I am on dialysis?

No — diet and fluid intake need to be carefully controlled. Dialysis removes excess potassium, phosphorus, and fluid, but what you consume between sessions matters greatly. Our team will provide you with a kidney-specific diet plan covering fluid limits, foods to avoid, and safe dietary choices.

4. What is the difference between haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?

Haemodialysis filters blood externally through a machine, typically at a hospital or dialysis centre. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your own abdomen as a filter and can be done at home. The right choice depends on your medical condition, lifestyle, and vascular access status — your nephrologist will guide you.

5. Can kidney function recover after starting dialysis?

In cases of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), kidney function can recover partially or fully after the underlying cause is treated, and dialysis may be stopped. For patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD Stage 5), dialysis is typically a long-term requirement unless a kidney transplant is performed.
