India has over 220 million people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the number is rising every year. Dialysis technologists are the trained professionals who operate life-saving dialysis machines and manage renal care units — and demand for them is growing faster than supply.
What is Dialysis Technology?
Dialysis technology is the clinical science of operating and maintaining dialysis equipment used to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood of patients whose kidneys have failed. A dialysis technologist sets up machines, monitors patients during treatment, manages vascular access, and ensures the safety of every dialysis session.
What Does a Dialysis Technologist Do?
- Set up and operate haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis machines
- Monitor patients' vital signs during dialysis sessions
- Manage arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and central venous catheters
- Prepare dialysate solutions and maintain water treatment systems
- Maintain and troubleshoot dialysis equipment
- Educate patients on diet, fluid management, and home dialysis
