Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpur have engineered an indigenous, cost-effective kidney dialysis technology. The innovative technology was recently recognised with the National Award, a statement said today.

Frequent night-time haemodialysis improves a number of clinical symptoms and some aspects of quality of life for kidney patients compared to conventional methods.

Scientists have found that kidney patients who undergo haemodialysis in the morning are likely to live longer than those who have it in the evening. In a study published in the recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers studied over 240 elderly patients who had undergone haemodialysis over 11 years.
