What is Peritoneal Dialysis?
Peritoneal Dialysis is a kidney replacement therapy used to remove waste products and excess fluids from the body when the kidneys are unable to function adequately. Unlike hemodialysis, which uses a machine to filter blood externally, peritoneal dialysis utilizes the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) as a natural filter.
A cleansing fluid called dialysate is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a surgically placed catheter. Waste products and excess fluids pass from the blood vessels in the abdominal lining into the dialysate, which is later drained and replaced with fresh solution.
Peritoneal dialysis offers flexibility and can often be performed at home, allowing patients greater independence while maintaining effective toxin removal and fluid balance.
Procedure Overview
30 to 40 Minutes per Exchange
Local anesthesia for catheter placement
Same Day or 1–2 Days (for catheter insertion)
Daily Exchanges (Manual or Automated)
$1,000 – $2,500 per Month*
*Cost varies depending on dialysis method, consumables used, hospital category, and patient condition.
Step-by-step process
How is Peritoneal Dialysis Performed?
The procedure is managed under nephrology supervision, often in an outpatient or home setting.
Catheter Placement
A soft catheter is surgically inserted into the abdomen.
Dialysate Infusion
Sterile dialysis fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity.
Dwell Time
The fluid remains in the abdomen, allowing waste and excess fluid transfer.
Drainage Phase
Used dialysate containing toxins is drained out.
Fluid Replacement
Fresh dialysate is infused to begin the next cycle.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Regular check-ups ensure effective dialysis and prevent complications.
This structured approach allows continuous toxin removal while preserving lifestyle flexibility.

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.
