Mitra Industries launch triple-chambered peritoneal dialysis bag with near-neutral pH

New Delhi: Mitra Industries announced the launch of its triple-chambered peritoneal dialysis (PD) bag that has a near-neutral pH and low glucose degradation products (GDPs).

The use of this bag will help treating nephrologists enhance patient care and improve outcomes. The conventional PD solutions have acidic pH which has a deleterious effect on the functionality of the peritoneal membrane, the lifeline of PD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is growing at a rapid rate and is fast becoming a public health challenge in India posing multifaceted threats to India’s health infrastructure and delivery systems. There is an alarming rise in common risk factors like diabetes and hypertension and a critical shortage of donor kidneys for transplants. These factors have further exacerbated the situation, leaving many patients to rely on dialysis as their life-sustaining option.

Nitin Mahajan, Managing Director, Mitra Industries, said, “This cutting-edge product leverages advanced technology and scientific expertise to deliver superior outcomes for CKD patients who rely on peritoneal dialysis as their life-sustaining therapy.”

Dr KS Nayak, Chief Medical Advisor, Mitra Industries, said, “Peritoneal dialysis is a crucial therapy that allows CKD patients to remove waste and excess fluid from their bodies, mimicking the excretory function of healthy kidneys. The innovative solution promises enhanced efficacy, improved patient outcomes, and improved quality of life, providing hope for nephrologists managing the complexities of chronic kidney disease treatments.”
