वह चिकित्सा उपचार जो किडनी फेल होने पर खून से अपशिष्ट पदार्थ और अतिरिक्त तरल निकालता है — हेमोडायलिसिस (मशीन से) या पेरिटोनियल डायलिसिस (पेट की झिल्ली से)। किडनी फेल्योर (स्टेज 5) में डायलिसिस या ट्रांसप्लांट अनिवार्य हो जाता है।
Dialysis replaces kidney filtration for patients with advanced CKD or AKI. Two main families: hemodialysis (HD — blood filtered through a dialyzer machine, typically 3x/week in-center) and peritoneal dialysis (PD — the peritoneal membrane filters using dialysate, performed at home). Dialysis addresses clearance (urea, creatinine, potassium, phosphate) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal), but does NOT replace the kidneys' endocrine functions (erythropoietin, vitamin D activation) — hence the need for ESA therapy and vitamin D analogs. In India, dialysis is the dominant renal replacement therapy, with in-center HD being most common and home modalities growing.
