Peritoneal dialysis is a dialysis technique that requires the surgical implantation of a peritoneal dialysis catheter (PD Catheter) to filter your blood through the peritoneum membrane in your abdomen. The process requires a fluid called Dialysate, to be pumped into your Peritoneum (to absorb waste from your blood) and drained out (via your abdomen) into a drainage bag. This exercise can require a few hours to complete and will need to be conducted 4-6 times in a single day.

Hemodialysis is a commonly prescribed procedure for people who have trouble with excreting waste from their body. It involves using an artificial kidney machine called a Hemodialyzer to clean your blood. The blood is run through an external machine for a few hours, which filters and cleans it. This procedure is typically carried out in a hospital, but it can also be done at home for people who require long-term dialysis due to severe cases.

Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting a healthy kidney from either a living or deceased donor to a recipient who has kidney failure. This life-saving intervention is aimed at restoring normal kidney function and improving the recipient's quality of life.

Andrology and urogynecology disorders affecting the male reproductive system and pelvic floor in women are treated using a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment options include medication, hormone therapy, surgical interventions, assisted reproductive technologies, pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, minimally invasive procedures, or reconstructive surgery.

Chronic Kidney Failure, or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), is a gradual loss of kidney function over time. It can result from various conditions, leading to irreversible damage. Management involves lifestyle changes and, in advanced stages, dialysis or transplantation.

Acute Kidney Failure, or Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), is a sudden decline in kidney function, often due to underlying medical conditions, toxins, or severe dehydration. Prompt medical intervention is crucial.
