Your kidneys perform essential functions every day—from removing waste to balancing electrolytes and blood pressure. When these vital organs are at risk, you may be referred to a kidney expert known as a nephrologist.
In a recent feature on NDTV, Dr. Keyur Dave, an esteemed nephrologist, shared meaningful insights into kidney function and the growing concern of kidney diseases in India. His candid and clear approach made the conversation informative and relatable for viewers across all age groups.
When the kidneys can no longer effectively remove waste and excess fluids from the body, dialysis becomes essential to support life. The two main dialysis methods—hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (PD)—serve the same function but differ in how they are administered and how they fit into a patient’s life. Knowing the pros and cons of each can help you make an informed decision.
