Why do Hemodialysis at NEKAS Dialysis Center?
Overview
At NEKAS, in Sparta, chronic hemodialysis is delivered as both classical hemodialysis (HD) and online hemodiafiltration (HDF), on Baxter "Artis Physio Plus" machines. Dialysis water is prepared by an online reverse-osmosis system and a choice of Low- and High-Flux Baxter filters is available. Patients are monitored continuously by nephrologists throughout every session.
What is Included
Each session includes the dialysis treatment — classical hemodialysis or online hemodiafiltration — with continuous nephrologist monitoring and care by the medical and nursing team. Comfort at the station includes an electric bed or dialysis chair with a personal television and headphones, free Wi-Fi and tablet use, and snacks (sandwiches and cakes) and beverages; companions have a comfortable waiting area and private parking is available on site.
What to Expect
A range of needles is available for a painless puncture, and machines are strictly sterilized after every session in line with the Greek CDC (EODY) COVID-19 health-protection measures. Sessions can be booked in advance through the online booking system — advisable for travelling and holiday-dialysis patients — and on arrival you are prepared for treatment and monitored by the nephrology team throughout.
Duration
As a general standard for in-center dialysis, a hemodialysis or online hemodiafiltration session lasts about four hours, not including preparation and recovery time, and most patients have three sessions a week. The treating nephrologist sets each patient's exact schedule.
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.
