The short answer

Dialysis in India costs USD 30–100 per hemodialysis session, among the most affordable in the world. It's an outpatient treatment for patients with kidney failure, typically required 2-3 times a week, with peritoneal dialysis also available as a home-based alternative for eligible patients.

About Dialysis

Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment that artificially performs the kidney's function of filtering waste products, excess fluid, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so adequately. It is used in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (end-stage renal disease), either as a bridge to transplant or as long-term maintenance therapy.

Who it is for

Recommended for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease or acute kidney failure whose kidney function has dropped to a level where waste and fluid buildup threaten health, typically indicated by lab markers such as GFR and creatinine levels alongside clinical symptoms.

What happens during treatment

In hemodialysis, blood is filtered through a dialysis machine via an access point (fistula, graft, or catheter) and returned to the body, usually over 3-4 hours per session, 2-3 times weekly. In peritoneal dialysis, a catheter placed in the abdomen allows fluid exchange within the peritoneal cavity, often performed daily at home.
