What is Hemodialysis?
Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to remove waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to function effectively. It is commonly recommended for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney failure.
Healthy kidneys filter blood continuously to maintain proper balance of fluids, electrolytes, and metabolic waste. When kidney function declines significantly, hemodialysis performs this essential filtration process using a specialized machine and dialyzer (artificial kidney).
Hemodialysis helps maintain stable body chemistry, control blood pressure, and reduce symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, and shortness of breath. It is typically performed multiple times per week under medical supervision.
Procedure Overview
3 to 5 Hours per Session
Not Required (Local anesthesia for vascular access procedures)
Outpatient Basis
3 Sessions per Week (Typical Schedule)
$150 – $350 per Session*
*Cost varies depending on dialysis center type, consumables used, hospital category, and patient condition.
Step-by-step process
How is Hemodialysis Performed?
The procedure is carried out in a specialized dialysis unit equipped with advanced monitoring systems.
Vascular Access Preparation
Access is established through an arteriovenous fistula, graft, or catheter.
Connection to Dialysis Machine
Blood is drawn from the body through tubing into the dialysis machine.
Filtration Process
The dialyzer removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood.
Electrolyte and Fluid Balance Adjustment
The machine ensures balanced sodium, potassium, and fluid levels.
Return of Filtered Blood
Cleaned blood is returned safely to the body.
Post-Session Monitoring
Vital signs are monitored before, during, and after the session.
This structured process ensures safe and controlled blood purification.

Satisfied Clients
I was initially concerned about the cost of cardiac treatment in my home country. Through Healing with India, I received a transparent cost estimate and comprehensive package that was significantly more affordable without compromising on quality. The entire process was clearly explained, and there were no unexpected expenses. It truly made advanced treatment accessible to me.
From the moment I arrived in India until my departure, the Healing with India team ensured everything was well coordinated. Airport pickup, hospital appointments, documentation, and follow-up schedules were managed seamlessly. I felt supported at every stage of my medical journey.
What stood out most was the level of care and attention I received. The medical team took time to explain my condition and treatment plan in detail. The Healing with India coordinators were always available to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay.
The accommodation arranged for me and my family was comfortable and conveniently located near the hospital. The team assisted with local transportation, dietary needs, and language support. It made a stressful situation much easier for both me and my family.
Healing with India went beyond simply arranging treatment. They ensured my medical reports were reviewed before travel, coordinated with specialists for a second opinion, and even assisted with post-procedure follow-up once I returned home. Their commitment to quality and patient well-being was evident at every step.
