The department provides several
types of dialysis, depending on
the patient's needs. Critically
ill patients, who cannot be moved
from the ICU, are given dialysis
at the bedside with continuous arteriovenous
haemofiltration, which has helped
to save many lives. Chronic renal
failure patients usually undergo
haemodialysis at the hospital 2-3
times a week.

|
A
new technique, Continuous Ambulatory
Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD),
enables patients to dialyse themselves
at home, without depending on a
machine. another option for patients
with chronic renal failure is kidney
transplantation. Over the last
20 years, several patients have
received healthy kidneys from close
relatives.

Stress & Pulmonary Function Lab |

Pulmonary
function and stress testing offer a non-evasive
way of evaluating the lungs and the heart.
Results are interpreted by physicians
specialising in pulmonary disease and
internal medicine. Facilities include
ambulatory 24 hour ECG monitoring for
accurate detection of heart beat abnormalities.
Pulmonary function and stress testing
are helpful in identifying high-risk individuals
who need further testing, treatment or
changes in work environment. Rigorous
quality control ensures accuracy of results.
Procedures are continuously upgraded to
reflect the latest test standards.
