ABOUT THE CLINIC

At Diaverum, we offer our patients consistently high standards of care in every one of our clinics worldwide. While our care excellence, based on a highly standardised approach, drives superior medical outcomes, we also know the importance of empowering patients, their families, and caregivers. Our True care culture delivers a holistic renal care experience, including a warm &friendly atmosphere in our clinics to ensure our patients can regain their strength both physically and emotionally. 

At Diaverum, we passionately believe that everyone deserves a fulfilling life. That's why we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of renal patients, holding our True care culture at the heart of everything we do. 

In addition, we know that taking a holiday can be an important part of enjoying life. This can feel like a significant challenge if you need to have regular treatments, such as dialysis, which is why we have created d.HOLIDAY, our holiday dialysis programme. Patients who wish to travel to Greece or anywhere else in the world can do so with complete confidence that their continuity of care is ensured 

The Diaverum Ilion clinic has been part of Diaverum since 2024 and offers 25 dialysis stations. 

About Ilion: 

Ilion, situated in the western part of the Attica region, is a quiet neighborhood named after the ancient Greek city of Troy. One of the area’s highlights is the Environmental Awareness Park Antonis Tritsis, a large park providing a peaceful escape with walking paths, lakes, and green spaces, ideal for picnics, jogging & bird-watching. Moreover, Ilion serves as an excellent base for exploring the rest of Athens, thanks to its convenient transportation options.

Useful Information / FAQ

Upon entering the dialysis clinic, a nurse will check your blood pressure, body weight, temperature, and pulse. Then you will be escorted to a dialysis room, where you will be connected to a dialysis machine via the port. For the next three to five hours, your blood will be cleansed by the dialyzer machine. During your dialysis sessions, you will sit or lie on a recliner or bed. 

The dialysis treatment process can be tiring and since you can’t move around during it, it’s a good idea to bring your books, phone or laptop, to help pass the time. 

Some people report that they feel a little lightheaded during dialysis treatment. However, many people find the treatment to be pain-free and even relaxing. All our dialysis clinics have televisions and most of them have free Wi-Fi for use with a mobile device (please ask the staff for details). You may read, or talk to other patients. 

Please use headphones while you watching TV or listening to the radio, so as not to disturb other patients. 

Remember to bring a picture ID for your first treatment. Also, if you wear glasses or use hearing aids, remember to bring those with you. Bring your medication lists, laboratory results and medical history. 

Wear comfortable clothes because you will be spending several hours in the dialysis clinic during each session. It is important to dress comfortably. Your clothing should be loose and should allow easy access for your healthcare team to reach your port. Additionally, please bring a change of shoes with you. 

An individualized treatment plan is written for each patient. Hemodialysis requires visits to the clinic three times a week, and each treatment usually lasts 4-5 hours. 

Treatment can be changed if there are no clinical contraindications. Patients who switch from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis will need to have a PD catheter placed. This is usually done as an outpatient procedure. 

Transportation to and from the dialysis treatment is organized as part of a comprehensive hemodialysis service. You travel with other patients.
