Abstract : Dialysis is crucial for individuals coping with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Preliminary research suggests that the incidence of chronic kidney disease, a precursor to ESRD, is reported at 0.8% in India. The leading causes of CKD, specifically Diabetes and hypertension, are increasing nationwide [1].
Around 200,000 new patients in India need dialysis annually, but less than 30?n avail themselves of this critical therapy, likely due to challenges related to availability and affordability. The expenses for a dialysis session range from Rs.500 in subsidized charitable facilities to Rs.2000 in private institutions. Nephrologists recommend that End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients require approximately three dialysis sessions per week to adequately remove toxins from the blood. Enhancing the affordability and accessibility of dialysis is vital to increasing session frequency and reducing noncompliance [2].
