Why do Hemodialysis at NEKAL Dialysis Center?
Overview
At NEKAL, at 15 Georgiou Gennimata Street in Lamia, hemodialysis is provided to local patients and visitors as both classic hemodialysis (HD) and online hemodiafiltration (online HDF). Treatment is carried out on 23 Artis Physio Plus machines by Baxter Gambro, two of them dedicated exclusively to seropositive patients, with dialysis water prepared by an online reverse-osmosis system. Care is provided by experienced nephrologists and specialized dialysis nurses under the scientific direction of Dr. Panagiotis Nennes, and each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
What is Included
Each hemodialysis session at NEKAL includes:
- The full hemodialysis session under the supervision of nephrologists
- A treatment plan tailored to your needs
- Nursing care and support throughout the session
- Use of the dialysis equipment and medical disposables
- Continuous monitoring during treatment
- Vascular access care
- Help with organizing the medical documents needed before treatment
Additional services, such as medical reports, can be arranged on request.
What to Expect
Before: You send your medical history, recent laboratory results and usual dialysis settings, which the medical team reviews before your first session.
During: You have your session under continuous supervision by the nephrology and nursing team. Each station has an electrically adjustable bed, an individual television with headphones and free Wi-Fi, and snacks and beverages are provided.
After: The medical team remains available for support, monitoring and post-treatment guidance whenever needed.
Duration
A hemodialysis session lasts about four hours. The length and frequency of your sessions are set according to your medical needs and personal schedule.
Cancellation Policy
Changes or cancellations to scheduled sessions should be reported well in advance. Refunds and schedule changes follow the center's official policies.
Service Summary
Hemodialysis is a life-sustaining treatment that filters waste, excess salts and fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer do so adequately on their own.
Possible Side Effects
The most common side effects of a hemodialysis session are low blood pressure, muscle cramps, nausea, headache, fatigue and itching, all of which are usually transient and managed during the session by the nephrology and nursing team. Vascular access complications (clotting, infection, bleeding from a fistula or graft, catheter-related bloodstream infection) can occur and require prompt attention. Long-term hemodialysis is also associated with anaemia, bone-mineral disturbances, cardiovascular strain and the practical burden of a treatment schedule of multiple sessions per week — these are managed by your home nephrology team. Always travel with a recent dialysis prescription, current serology and the contact details of your home unit.
