We treat people with chronic kidney disease.
Hemodiafiltration (HDF) as the first-choice method
More than 1/3 of our patients receive hemodiafiltration (HDF), a dialysis modality that is more effective than conventional hemodialysis. Unlike conventional hemodialysis, which relies primarily on diffusion, HDF combines two biophysical mechanisms – diffusion and convection. This combination enables more efficient removal of toxins and excess fluid from the body. The patient also tolerates the procedure better and feels less tired afterward. HDF also enables more effective control of anaemia and chronic inflammation and, most importantly – improves patient survival. Although studies (e.g. the CONVINCE trial) have shown that this method benefits all patients with chronic kidney disease, in Poland it is reimbursed only for four groups of patients and is inadequately valued within the healthcare reimbursement system. DaVita is striving to change that.

It is a small great organ. They work, among others, like a filter in a large aquarium: they cleanse our body of unnecessary metabolic products. And not only that!

It can develop over many years and its progress may go unnoticed for a long time. It progresses in 5 stages. In the final stage, it requires renal replacement therapy under the supervision of a nephrologist.

My husband has been on dialysis for several years. Due to his illness, the functioning of our entire family had to change. We had to become an even more harmonious team to "wrap our heads around it," as the young people say. It's great to get that feeling of playing on the same team with the medical staff at DaVita. Thanks to them, he can feel good and become involved in everything that goes on at home. That's just priceless!

Complete and reliable information is very important to me in my treatment. I like to know exactly what is happening to me and what my treatment should be like. At DaVita, I can fully count on that. My attending physician and the entire medical team answer all my questions. This helps me manage my disease a lot better.

My dad needs renal replacement therapy. One of my friends, a doctor, told me that one hemodialysis was a burden to the human body comparable to a marathon. Most patients require dialysis treatment 3 times a week. So does my dad. In order for him to recover from them as fully as possible, it takes not only the perfect execution of the entire procedure, but also a lot of simple human kindness and care. He's getting that kind of care from DaVita, for which I am very grateful to their team!

I went through a transplant that changed my life. Before it happened, however, I was treated at DaVita. I became very close with both the team and the patients. I have received so much devotion and good from them... They are very committed to their work. I will always be grateful to them for that. And although I don’t miss dialysis, I do miss them very much!
