Fortis Greater Noida Launches Next Generation Haemodialysis Machine as Lifestyle-Related Kidney Diseases Increase

Greater Noida: With lifestyle-related kidney diseases steadily rising, doctors are warning that factors such as excessive protein supplement consumption for bodybuilding, lack of regular health screening, genetic disposition, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity are emerging as major contributors to kidney damage.

Against this backdrop, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida has introduced the Next Gen Haemodiafiltration (HDF) machine, a next-generation dialysis technology that combines diffusion and high-volume convection to superiorly remove small and mid-to-large-sized toxins, compared to conventional hemodialysis.

Demonstrating the impact of this next generation technology, Doctors at the hospital recently treated a 32-year-old woman suffering from end-stage kidney failure via HDF machine. The team of doctors led by Dr Ravinder Singh Bhadoria, Additional Director - Nephrology and Dr Prashant Kumar, Consultant -Urology, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida managed the critically ill patient.

The patient was already dialysis-dependent due to failure of her transplanted kidney. In such a condition, she was admitted to Fortis Hospital Greater Noida with severe breathlessness, low blood pressure and high-grade fever.

Her chances of survival was merely 10% and her condition was particularly critical, as she was severely immunocompromised due to post-transplant medications. In view of the patient’s severe immunocompromised condition, it was difficult to perform conventional Hemodialysis, and therefore the nephrology team led by Dr. Ravinder Singh Bhadoria, Additional Director – Nephrology, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida opted for advanced Haemodiafiltration.

This advanced dialysis technique uses two processes - diffusion and convection - to remove both small and medium-sized uraemic toxins from the blood more effectively, while also helped the patient maintain stable heart and blood pressure levels. The procedure lasted for four hours, and she is currently in stable condition.

Dr. Ravinder Singh Bhadoria, Additional Director – Nephrology, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida said, “We are witnessing an upsurge in kidney disease amongst individuals, largely driven by lifestyle factors such as uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, obesity, excessive use of protein supplements, and delayed health screening. Early detection and timely management are critical because once kidney damage progresses to an advanced stage, patients often require lifelong dialysis or transplant support.”

Dr. Prashant Kumar, Consultant, Urology, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida said, “Next Generation Haemodiafiltration represents a significant advancement over conventional dialysis. Unlike standard hemodialysis, which primarily removes small toxins through diffusion, Online HDF combines diffusion with convection to clear larger molecules, helping reduce inflammation and long-term dialysis complications.

Patients undergoing HDF often experience better blood pressure stability during dialysis, fewer dialysis-related symptoms, improved toxin clearance, and enhanced overall quality of life. The technology is particularly beneficial for patients with long dialysis dependency, cardiovascular risk, or complications associated with conventional dialysis therapy.”

Siddharth Nigam, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Greater Noida, said, “With the introduction of Next Generation HDF technology, Fortis Greater Noida continues to strengthen its advanced dialysis and nephrology services, providing patients with cutting-edge treatment options aimed at improving survival outcomes and quality of life.”
