Hemodialysis
Dialysis Treatment and Services Provided to Dialysis Patients
- - State-of-the-art dialysis machines equipped with multiple safety sensors and intravascular volume monitoring systems to prevent hypotensive episodes and ensure a safe and complication-free dialysis session.
- - High-standard dialysis treatment (online hemodiafiltration) for better control of both small and middle molecular weight uremic toxins, reducing the risk for medium- and long-term complications associated with the method.
- - Options for high-quality dialysis filters tailored to the needs and specific conditions of each patient (biocompatible, hypoallergenic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant).
- - Medical evaluation of the patient each time they come in for hemodialysis treatment.
- - Continuous presence of a doctor during dialysis sessions.
- - Cannulation of the vascular access (fistula) under ultrasound guidance when deemed necessary, aiming to eliminate the possibility of cannulation failure.
- - Regular ultrasound monitoring of the vascular access to prevent future complications.
- - Timely referral of patients to collaborating vascular surgeons for targeted intervention aimed at preventing thrombosis of the vascular access.
- - Systematic monitoring by collaborating clinical dietitians at our Center, aiming for optimal control of biochemical parameters and the maintenance of nutrition and muscle mass.
- - Completion of pre-transplant evaluation for patients deemed potentially eligible for transplantation, to facilitate their progression toward kidney transplantation.
- - Monitoring and support by a collaborating clinical psychologist.
Dialysis Filters – Membranes
The Dialysis Unit of Nefrontida Nephrology Center offers its patients, a range of filters from the company Baxter.
These are high-tech, high-quality, biocompatible dialysis/hemodiafiltration filters that ensure top-standard treatment for patients.
Additionally, for patients with specific issues, filters with special features and indications are offered according to their individual needs and conditions, such as:
- - Hypoallergenic filters for patients who experience allergic reactions to standard dialysis membranes.
- - Hypoallergenic filters for patients who experience allergic reactions to standard dialysis membranes.
- - Filters with low or no heparin use, for patients with coagulation disorders.
- - Filters designed to reduce chronic inflammation, aiming to decrease long-term complications associated with the treatment.
- - Filters for the removal of high molecular weight substances, such as light chains, for patients with multiple myeloma.
