Kidney Dialysis in India The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that lie just below the rib cage, on each side of spine. Kidneys remove waste from human body, level out blood pressure, and keep bones strong. Kidneys also ensure that you have the right amount of chemicals like potassium and sodium (salt) in blood. Finally, kidneys make the hormone that causes human body to create red blood cells.

Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the things which are performed by healthy kidneys. Dialysis is usually needed when the kidneys can no longer take care of their body's needs. Dialysis is a procedure that takes over a kidney functionsif those organs stop doing their job.

Dialysis is a process to excrete waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. Dialysis often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.

Dialysis is used as a temporary measure in either acute kidney injury or in those who are waiting for kidney transplantand as a permanent measure in those for whom a transplant is not indicated or not possible.

Dialysis helps the body by performing the functions of failed kidneys. The kidney has many roles. The main job of the kidney is to regulate the body's fluid balance. It does this by adjusting the amount of urine that is excreted on a daily basis.

On hot days, the body sweats more. Thus, less water needs to be excreted through the kidneys. On cold days, the body sweats less. Thus, urine output needs to be greater in order to maintain the proper balance within the body. It is the kidney's job to regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine output.
