Patients hospitalized for kidney injury are at high risk of dying in hospital or within a year. Over the past years, the number of existing patients with kidney diseases approximately doubled, and the number of new patients increased. 
 

The kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation increased day by day. When the kidneys are healthy, they clean our blood. 

They also make hormones that keep our bones strong and blood healthy. When the kidney fails, need treatment to replace the work the kidney used to do. Dialysis is an only treatment. It replicates the function of the kidneys when they are failing. In healthy individuals, the kidney work to filter and remove waste products, excess fluid, salts and toxins from the blood. However, in cases of kidney failure, this mechanism fails and individuals need to undergo dialysis. There are two types of dialysis and that are Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. 

  

One of the kidney failure patients said that poor or declining nutritional status during dialysis initiation is at increased risks for death.  They should take any pressure and tension. They should take proper rest and a healthy environment. The Banasthali Kidney centre is one of the Kidney hospitals who give treatments to the kidney failure patients. There are many kidney failure patients around 120 in number in a day. Many of them are come from the abroad as they stay over there. The kidney failure patients are not only the elderly aged people but also it happens many early aged people. According to the kidney failure patient it is very dangerous disease that does not cured after doing treatment. After doing dialysis, they became very weak and it is very difficult for them to walk.
