About Warsaw:
Warsaw is the capital and largest city of the country, located in the Masovia region. Almost completely destroyed during the World War II, Warsaw is a phoenix arisen from the ashes. Many of the historical streets, buildings, and churches have been restored exactly according to their original forms. There are many monuments and museums within the city dedicated to times of conflict such as the Warsaw Rising Museum and Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews; both of which are highly recommended. The showcase of Warsaw is the Old Town, entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List – it’s where the city’s heart has been beating for centuries. In the city, you will find a widely-contrasting collection of architecture, Gothic, neoclassical, Renaissance & restored baroque in the Old Town and modern skyscrapers in the center.
Warsaw is blessed with beautiful parklands with green space covering almost a quarter of the city’s total area. The best-known green areas in Warsaw are Saxon Garden, Krasinski Garden and Łazienki Park - the biggest and most popular park in the city and it provides visitors with many things to explore. In the summer here, the famous Chopin Concerts take place in a unique outdoor setting.

FAQ
Diaverum clinic is located in the Institute of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine (Instytut Hematologii i Transfuzjologii) building on the second and third floors.
Upon entering the dialysis clinic, a nurse will check your blood pressure, body weight, temperature, and pulse. Then you’ll be escorted to a dialysis room, where you’ll be connected with 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'll 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 smart 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 has 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 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’ll be spending a couple of hours in a dialysis clinic during each kidney dialysis session, it is important to dress comfortably. What you wear should be loose. Also, wear a clothing that will make it easy for your healthcare team to reach your access.
Please, also take a change of shoes with you.
An individualized treatment plan is written for each patient. Conventional hemodialysis requires visits to a clinic three times a week. Usually, each hemodialysis treatment 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.
