If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with renal failure, it’s natural to feel a range of emotions. It is important to remember that renal failure is not a death sentence. With advanced treatment options like dialysis, it is possible to live a long and active life
Dialysis is a life-sustaining process that filters toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so on their own This treatment mimics the natural function of the kidneys, which normally filter the blood and convert waste into urine to be expelled from the body.
Established in 2021, Aashra Charitable Medical Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to making healthcare accessible for underserved communities, with a special focus on providing life-saving dialysis care. Our mission is to bridge the gap in healthcare by offering sustainable, compassionate, and affordable medical solutions to those who need them most.
Founded by distinguished nephrologist Dr. Shambhoo Sharan Singh, Aashra was born from a vision to make dialysis accessible to low-income communities.To reduce costs, Aashra has established four innovative dialysis centers within Gurudwaras, strategically located within an 8 km radius of key medical institutions like AIIMS

8.Post-Dialysis Care
Once the session is complete, the patient’s condition is assessed, and any necessary post-dialysis care is provided
The average patient can expect to live 5 to 10 years on dialysis, though many have successfully maintained their health for 20 or even 30 years. Your prognosis depends on underlying medical issues and adherence to your treatment plan
A typical patient undergoes hemodialysis three times a week for three to four hours per session, depending on kidney function and fluid gain between treatments.
In cases of acute renal failure, the condition is often reversible. The kidneys may begin to function normally again within a few weeks to months after the underlying cause is treated. Dialysis is required until then
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is one of the most common side effects, which can be caused by the decrease in fluid levels during treatment. This can lead to nausea and dizziness
The dialysis process itself does not cause discomfort. However, some patients may experience side effects from a drop in blood pressure, such as nausea, vomiting, headaches, or cramping
For many people with severe chronic kidney disease, a kidney transplant is the preferred therapy, as life expectancy is often better than with dialysis. A transplant is typically required for those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where kidney failure is permanent
