Night dialysis treatment improves both health and quality of life – new shifts across Europe

Munich / Lund, 27 April 2012 – Diaverum, one of the world’s leading renal care service providers, is further expanding its service portfolio by increasing the number of dialysis clinics offering nocturnal haemodialysis. The service offers patients more flexibility to pursue a normal work and family life. In turn, the medical, social and emotional outcomes are very positive. This spring, additional nocturnal dialysis shifts have been opened in France and Portugal.
“Requiring dialysis three times a week for at least four hours is very time intensive for patients with kidney failure and demands a complete change of their daily life. We are thus constantly investigating alternatives to improve the quality of life for our patients. One of these alternatives is nocturnal dialysis,” explained Dag Andersson, CEO and President of Diaverum.
