How is the CAPD Performed ?

Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is a kidney dialysis technique that includes the continuous removal of waste and excess fluids from the body. It exploits the peritoneal membrane in the abdominal cavity as a natural filter, with dialysis solution regularly introduced and drained through a catheter.

Let us understand how the CAPD procedure in Varanasi is typically carried out at Heritage Hospitals:

  • Initial Assessment: Before beginning CAPD, our medical team will conduct a thorough assessment of your kidney function, medical history, and overall health to ensure that CAPD is a suitable treatment option for you.

  • Catheter Insertion: A soft, flexible catheter is surgically placed into your abdominal cavity, usually through a small incision near your navel. This catheter serves as the access point for the dialysis fluid.

  • Dialysis Solution: The catheter introduces a specialized dialysis solution (dialysate) into your abdominal cavity. The dialysate helps remove waste products and excess fluid from your bloodstream.

  • Dwell Time: The dialysate remains in your abdominal cavity for a fixed period, allowing it to absorb waste products and excess fluids from your bloodstream.

  • Draining: After the dwell time, the used dialysate is drained from your abdominal cavity into a collection bag. This process typically needs to be repeated multiple times a day, ensuring continuous purification of your blood.

  • Cleanliness and Care: Proper hygiene and technique are crucial for preventing infections. Our medical team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to maintain a sterile environment and perform the CAPD exchanges correctly.

  • Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular check-ups and monitoring are essential to ensure the effectiveness of CAPD in Varanasi. Our nephrologists will work closely with you to adjust your treatment plan as needed and address any concerns or complications.
