Glomerulonephritis

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Genetic / Inherited

Dialysis & Renal Replacement Therapy

Advanced Nephrology Treatments & Interventions

We offer all types of dialysis and renal replacement therapy at our hospital in Durgapur, utilizing the most advanced equipment and managed by highly trained specialized teams.

Haemodialysis (HD)

Safely filters out built-up waste products, harmful toxins, and excess water directly from blood. Usually requires 3 sessions per week, 4–5 hours each.

Learn more

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD)

Home-based continuous dialysis utilizing the patient's own abdominal lining as a natural filter (CAPD or APD). Eliminates regular hospital travel.

Learn more

Haemodiafiltration (HDF)

Combines standard diffusion with convective fluid movement under high pressure to deliver a 20-30% cleaner clearance of overall uremic toxins.

Learn more

Kidney Transplantation

Surgically implants a healthy donor kidney to completely replace failed function and restore normal life. 95% success rate at year 1.

Learn more

Renal Biopsy

Collects a tiny tissue sample from the kidney under real-time ultrasound guidance to establish an exact diagnosis with 90-95% accuracy.

Learn more

Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) Creation

A minor surgical procedure to connect a healthy artery directly to a nearby vein, creating the safest, long-term access point for hemodialysis.

Learn more

Catheter Placements (CVC & PD)

Temporary Central Venous Catheters for emergency hemodialysis, and permanent Tenckhoff Catheter insertion for home peritoneal dialysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kidney health and treatments

Q1. What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

CKD means the kidneys are slowly losing their ability to filter waste from the blood. It can happen over many months or years. It is classified into 5 stages — Stage 1 is mild, Stage 5 is kidney failure. The most common causes in India are diabetes and high blood pressure. Early treatment can slow or stop the damage.

Q2. What causes kidney disease?

The most common causes in India are diabetes (35%) and uncontrolled high blood pressure (25%). Other causes include kidney inflammation, genetic conditions like polycystic kidney disease, repeated kidney infections, and overuse of painkiller medicines (NSAIDs like ibuprofen and diclofenac). Early identification and treatment of the underlying cause can slow disease progression.

Q3. What is the difference between haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?

Haemodialysis: Done in a hospital or dialysis centre, 3 times a week, 4–5 hours each time. A machine cleans your blood through a dialyser.

Peritoneal Dialysis: Done at home by the patient. Fluid is put into the abdomen through a tube and drained out after a few hours. More flexible — no need to visit a centre daily.

Q4. Can kidney disease be prevented?

Yes, many causes of kidney disease can be prevented or slowed. Keep blood pressure under control (below 130/80 mmHg). Manage blood sugar if diabetic. Avoid excess painkiller medicines. Stay hydrated. Do not smoke. Get regular kidney function checks if you have diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease.

Q5. What is a kidney transplant?

A kidney transplant is an operation where a healthy kidney from a donor (living family member or deceased donor) is placed in the patient. It is the best long-term treatment for kidney failure. The patient goes off dialysis after transplant and lives a near-normal life. Lifelong anti-rejection medicines are needed.

Q6. How long can someone live on dialysis?

With proper care, dialysis and management, many patients live 10–20 years or more on dialysis. Quality of life and survival depend on age, other health conditions (diabetes, heart problems), how regularly dialysis is done, and following diet and fluid restrictions. Kidney transplant, when possible, gives better survival than long-term dialysis.

Q7. What foods should kidney patients avoid?

Kidney patients should generally reduce salt (sodium), limit high-potassium foods (banana, orange, potato) if potassium is high, reduce phosphorus (dairy, nuts, colas), and drink limited fluids in later stages. A specific diet plan from a renal dietitian is important — it varies based on kidney function level and test results.

Q8. What is GFR and why is it important?

GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is a blood test result that shows how well your kidneys are working. It is calculated from the serum creatinine value along with age and gender. A normal GFR is above 90. The lower the GFR, the worse the kidney function. It helps your doctor decide what stage of CKD you are in and what treatment you need.

Q9. Is dialysis available 24 hours at GIMSH?

Yes. GIMSH Durgapur has a 50-station dialysis centre operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Emergency dialysis is available at any time. Patients can also be referred from Asansol, Bardhaman, Raniganj, and nearby areas.
