The treatment
Haemodialysis: cleaning the blood when the kidneys no longer can
When the kidneys can no longer filter waste and excess water, haemodialysis takes over. Blood is carried to the dialysis machine through a fistula (a vascular access created in the arm), filtered in a dialyser (an artificial filter), then returned to the body.
Each session lasts about 4 hours. Most patients come 3 times a week, as prescribed by the nephrologist. During the session, you are settled comfortably on a 3-position bed, under continuous monitoring by our nurses and a doctor present on site.

Precision medical monitoring
Measuring rather than estimating your dry weight
The clinic has a multi-frequency bioimpedance device to objectively assess your hydration and body composition. A precision tool built into the dialysis protocol, not a separate examination.
Multi-frequency bioimpedance
Helps your nephrologist adjust your dry weight, track your lean and fat mass, and detect muscle wasting early. A non-invasive measurement, two minutes, painless.
