Program Highlights
Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultra- filtration) from the blood. Our kidneys do this naturally, however some people may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly. They may need dialysis.
At Chitkara University, the four-year graduate program includes rigorous internship thereby providing students with the opportunity to study the principles of Dialysis, basic medical science of the kidney, fluid and electrolyte balance, hematologic aspects, infectious diseases, dialysis systems and equipment, vascular access to circulation, blood chemistry, complications of renal failure, psycho-social aspects, Pharmacology related to Dialysis , management of complications during dialysis, extracorporeal treatments other than haemodialysis , different modalities of dialysis, patient care during dialysis and an overview of peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation.
In short, students are trained to operate Dialysis equipment, inspect and maintain it. Other than technical training, subjects like human anatomy and physiology, renal diseases, other relevant diseases, blood chemistry, etc. are also covered in this course.
