Clinical Guidance

Overview

Comprehensive Care & Management

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is an established, highly effective needle-free home dialysis modality that utilizes the natural lining of your own abdomen (the peritoneum) as a biological filter. A specialized sterile dialysis solution is gently infused into the abdominal cavity through a soft, flexible tube (Tenckhoff catheter), where it absorbs waste products and excess fluid before being drained.

Under the guidance of Dr. Vishal Singh, Swasth Kidney Clinic offers a comprehensive home peritoneal dialysis programme. We provide surgical catheter placement, dedicated patient and family training, ongoing delivery logistics support, adequacy monitoring (Kt/V), and rapid management of any complications to help patients maintain full lifestyle independence.

Care Pathway

How We Care For You

A structured, compassionate approach from initial consultation through diagnosis, specialized therapy, and long-term surveillance.

Pre-PD Counselling & Selection

Evaluating home environment, patient dexterity, caregiver support, and peritoneal membrane suitability.

Tenckhoff Catheter Placement

Minimally invasive surgical placement of a cuffed peritoneal catheter under local or light anaesthesia.

Comprehensive Patient Training

5–7 days of intensive, hands-on training for patient and family on aseptic exchange techniques.

Home Initiation & Surveillance

Transition to independent home therapy with monthly clinic visits for adequacy tests (PET test, Kt/V) and lab checks.

Conditions & Stages

Conditions We Manage

Personalized diagnostic and treatment pathways addressing specific stages and variations of kidney disease.

Continuous Ambulatory PD (CAPD)

Manual 20-minute fluid exchanges performed 3–4 times during the day; requires no electricity or machine.

Automated PD (APD / Cycler)

An automated cycler machine performs all exchanges overnight while you sleep, leaving your daytime completely free.

Peritonitis Prevention & Treatment

Strict aseptic protocols to prevent infection; rapid outpatient antibiotic protocols if cloudy fluid occurs.

Catheter Exit-Site Management

Specialized cleansing and topical care protocols to maintain a healthy, infection-free catheter tunnel.

Peritoneal Equilibration Testing (PET)

Specialized test measuring your membrane transport rate (high, average, low) to customize PD dwell times.

Nutritional & Fluid Optimization

High-protein dietary guidance to balance dialysate protein losses and manage blood sugar.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, medically verified answers about diagnosis, treatment options, and disease progression.

What is the difference between CAPD and APD?

CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) is performed manually with 3–4 exchanges throughout the day, requiring no machine. APD (Automated Peritoneal Dialysis) uses an automated cycler machine that performs all exchanges overnight while you sleep, leaving your daytime completely free.

Can I travel while on Peritoneal Dialysis?

Yes! Peritoneal dialysis offers exceptional travel freedom. CAPD supplies can be easily carried in your car or delivered directly to your travel destination by the supply distributor.

Is Peritoneal Dialysis painful?

No. Peritoneal dialysis is completely needle-free. Infusing and draining the fluid through the catheter is gentle and painless once the catheter has healed.

What is peritonitis and how is it prevented?

Peritonitis is an infection of the peritoneal membrane, usually caused by touching contaminated surfaces during exchange connections. It is prevented by following strict handwashing and aseptic techniques. If it occurs (cloudy fluid or belly pain), it is treated promptly with antibiotics.
