How Do I Choose the Best Specialist for Peritoneal Dialysis in India?

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a home-based dialysis option for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), using the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. Choosing a skilled nephrologist ensures accurate catheter placement, proper training, effective infection prevention, and comprehensive long-term kidney care.
