DDT - Technical Course Overview

The Diploma in Dialysis Technology (DDT) is a 2-year specialized diploma course approved by the Telangana State Paramedical Board. Dialysis technicians are critical healthcare assistants who operate dialyzer systems for patients suffering from acute or chronic renal failures, ensuring safe and effective blood purification treatments.

Siddartha Group provides extensive training on kidney anatomy & biochemistry, hemodialysis principles, peritoneal dialysis procedures, vascular access line monitoring, catheter care, dialyzer reprocessing, and sterile guidelines. Clinical rotations are conducted in dedicated nephrology wards at affiliated hospitals.
