Diploma in Dialysis Technology is a specialized program that trains students in the management and operation of dialysis machines used to treat patients with kidney failure. The course typically lasts 1–2 years and equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to assist in dialysis procedures, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

The curriculum covers a range of important topics, including:

• Anatomy and Physiology of the renal system
• Dialysis Procedures, such as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
• Dialysis Machine Operation and maintenance
• Patient Preparation and monitoring during dialysis
• Infection Control and sterilization techniques
• Electrolyte and Fluid Balance
• Emergency Protocols in dialysis care

Students also receive hands-on training in clinical settings, working with experienced dialysis technicians and nephrologists to gain practical skills. This includes learning how to set up and monitor dialysis machines, assess vital signs, manage complications, and ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Eligibility for the Diploma in Dialysis Technology typically requires a 10+2 qualification in Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) from a recognized board. Some institutions may conduct an entrance exam or interview for admission.
