At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, we understand how challenging it can be to live with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). For patients whose kidneys can no longer perform effectively, hemodialysis (also called dialysis, blood dialysis, or extracorporeal dialysis) is a life-saving treatment. This procedure works as an artificial kidney treatment, removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood while maintaining electrolyte balance.
Our expert nephrologists in Andheri West provide safe, supervised renal replacement therapy (RRT) using state-of-the-art dialysis machines in a comfortable, patient-friendly environment.

What is Hemodialysis?
Hemodialysis is a medical procedure where a dialysis machine and a dialyzer (artificial kidney filter) clean the blood by removing excess waste and fluids. It is commonly referred to as:
- Dialysis
- Blood dialysis
- Extracorporeal dialysis
- Kidney dialysis
- Artificial kidney treatment
- Renal replacement therapy (RRT)
It acts as a substitute for failing kidneys, helping patients with CKD or ESRD maintain stability and continue daily life.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Dialysis
You may need hemodialysis if you experience:
- Persistent swelling in ankles, legs, or around eyes
- Severe fatigue and weakness
- Shortness of breath due to fluid overload
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Uncontrolled blood pressure
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Blood test results showing poor kidney function (elevated creatinine, reduced GFR)
Conditions Treated with Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is often required for patients with:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) management in advanced stages
- End-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment
- Acute kidney failure not improving with medications
- Severe electrolyte imbalance
- Fluid overload causing lung or heart strain
Causes Leading to Hemodialysis
Our nephrologists may recommend dialysis due to:
- Long-standing diabetes (diabetic nephropathy)
- High blood pressure damaging the kidneys
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Glomerulonephritis
- Kidney injury from medications or toxins
- Autoimmune kidney disorders
- Repeated kidney infections
Diagnosis Before Hemodialysis
Before starting blood dialysis, patients undergo a thorough evaluation at Curis Life, including:
- Blood tests (urea, creatinine, electrolytes)
- Urine tests for protein and abnormalities
- Imaging scans for kidney health
- Assessment of heart and vascular system
- Nephrologist consultation to discuss dialysis vs kidney transplant
This ensures dialysis is started safely and at the right time.
Hemodialysis Procedure Steps
The hemodialysis procedure at Curis Life involves:
- Creating vascular access – fistula, graft, or catheter.
- Connecting patient to the dialysis machine.
- Blood flows through the dialyzer (artificial kidney filter).
- Waste, toxins, and excess fluids are removed.
- Clean blood is returned to the body.
Each dialysis session duration is about 3–5 hours, usually three times a week, depending on medical needs.

Post-Dialysis Care & Recovery
After outpatient hemodialysis sessions at Curis Life, patients are advised to:
- Follow a kidney-friendly dialysis diet with fluid restrictions
- Monitor weight and blood pressure regularly
- Take medications prescribed by the nephrologist
- Watch for signs of infection or complications at access site
- Rest adequately to avoid fatigue
Hemodialysis vs Peritoneal Dialysis
- Hemodialysis: Uses an external dialysis machine for blood filtration. Done at a dialysis clinic or hospital.
- Peritoneal dialysis: Uses the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a filter. Often managed at home.
Our nephrologists guide patients to choose the right treatment based on lifestyle, medical needs, and comfort.
