Peritoneal Dialysis in Gorakhpur – Expert Kidney Care by Dr. Arpit Srivastava

Peritoneal dialysis is recommended for patients with moderate to severe kidney failure who require regular dialysis. The following groups may benefit:

• End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients seeking home-based treatment.
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients with declining kidney function.
• Patients with difficulty accessing vascular systems for hemodialysis.
• Individuals desiring more flexibility and independence in dialysis scheduling.

Before starting peritoneal dialysis, Dr. Arpit Srivastava conducts a comprehensive evaluation to ensure the patient is medically suitable for this therapy. This includes reviewing kidney function, medical history, and lifestyle considerations.

Peritoneal dialysis offers several advantages over traditional hemodialysis:

• Convenience and Flexibility: Patients can perform dialysis at home, eliminating frequent hospital visits.
• Continuous Toxin Removal: Continuous dialysis leads to more stable blood pressure and fewer fluctuations in fluid levels.
• Preservation of Kidney Function: Residual kidney function is better maintained compared to hemodialysis.
• Reduced Dietary Restrictions: Patients have greater flexibility in diet, allowing better quality of life.
• Lower Risk of Vascular Complications: No repeated needle insertions are required, reducing vascular stress and infection risk.

These benefits make peritoneal dialysis in Gorakhpur a preferred option for many patients seeking a more independent and manageable dialysis routine.
