A tissue from the kidney will be taken out and examined under microscope to diagnose certain kidney diseases. These tests will help to identify the exact kidney disease and treatment options.

Peritoneal Dialysis is an alternate to hemodialysis which is done by the patient himself or his attenders at home. Special catheter is inserted surgically into the abdomen peritoneal cavity. Special fluids called peritoneal dialysate fluids are inserted in and out of the peritoneal space. Peritoneal Dialysis is simpler when compared to Hemodialysis.

The kidney acts like a filter and removes the toxins like urea, creatinine from the blood in the form of urine. When the kidney is paralyzed to perform this function, Chronic Renal failure occurs. It is also known as Chronic Kidney disease(CKD). It is divided into 5 stages (stage 1 or early to advanced stage 5) depending on the severity of kidney injury. Toxins and water build up in the body gradually on regular basis. CKD cannot be reversed or cured, but if diagnosed early can be controlled well from progressing to advance stages. In initial stages he or she can be maintained with medications alone.
