Hemodialysis unit

Ours is a well-equipped hemodialysis unit with state-of-the-art dialysis machines, which are managed by well-trained dialysis technicians and staff. As of now, we have seven dialysis stations providing round-the-clock dialysis services to needy patients. Eligible patients are given maintenance dialysis free of cost under the Tamil Nadu Government’s Medicare programme, as well as other insurances. Currently, we are running nearly 500 sessions per month. We are also proud to say that our dialysis unit was one among the very few institutes which provided free dialysis for COVID positive patients, including those who were critically ill. A qualified nephrologist periodically reviews our dialysis patients, for whom blood investigations are done monthly completely free of cost. We provide Hd for HCV positive CKD patients through isolated HD machines in a separate room.

Renal Biopsy
