The dialysis specialty at Apex covers in-centre haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and the long-term care that surrounds them. Patients seeking dialysis in Mumbai are helped to choose between these options based on their health, home situation and lifestyle, and those living near the Mulund unit can speak to a nephrologist in Mulund about sessions close to home.
