Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD & Acute PD)

🏠 Gentle & Convenient Kidney Care at Home

Get the best peritoneal dialysis Mumbai care from Dr. Shakir Ahmad, a leading nephrologist in Andheri.

Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) is a life-saving alternative to hemodialysis that allows patients to manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) at home. Dr. Shakir Shamshad Ahmad is among the few nephrologists in Mumbai with specialized expertise in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) and Acute Peritoneal Dialysis for both adult and critical patients.

💧 What is Peritoneal Dialysis?

In peritoneal dialysis, a dialysis solution is infused into the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) through a permanent catheter, allowing waste products and excess fluids to be filtered naturally. This is especially helpful for:

  • Elderly or fragile patients

  • Those with poor vascular access

  • Patients who want dialysis independence at home

🩺 Types of Peritoneal Dialysis Offered:

  • ✅ CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) – Manual, done 3–4 times a day at home

  • ✅ APD (Automated PD) – Machine-controlled at night while you sleep

  • ✅ Acute PD – For hospitalized or critically ill patients where hemodialysis is not feasible

🔍 Dr. Shakir’s CAPD Services Include:

  • Insertion of PD catheter (in collaboration with surgical team)

  • Patient & caregiver training for at-home dialysis

  • Prevention & management of peritonitis (infection)

  • Regular monitoring and lab test supervision

  • Emergency support for complications

  • Transition planning between PD and transplant or HD

💡 Advantages of CAPD with Dr. Shakir:

  • 🏠 Home-based, travel-free dialysis

  • ⏱️ Flexible schedule and lifestyle independence

  • 🛡️ Reduced risk of blood infections compared to HD

  • 💊 Personalized diet & fluid plans for PD patients

  • 🤝 Regular follow-ups and teleconsultation support
