Erythropoietin: Stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, helping to manage anemia.

Iron supplements: Treat or prevent iron deficiency and enhance hemoglobin production.

Analgesics – antipyretics: They treat pain and fever.

Vitamin D: Regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism and benefits bone health.

Vitamins (B1, B6 and B12)-Carnitine: Used for the smooth metabolic function of the nervous system.

  • A new building literally in the center of Athens. It has a two-level underground parking in an area where there is not even a sample. Cleanliness and order everywhere. It also has a new ambulance for patient movements. An excellent chronic dialysis unit in Athens.

  • Professionals in their field and staff are always smiling! Doctors are good and right! The space in the secretariat is large, with many armchairs and a large TV to pass the time pleasantly! Finally, it has a two-storey underground parking (-1, -2), just as large as many parking spaces for staff and patients!

  • Excellent dialysis unit, all doctors and support staff are wonderful and genuinely interested in the patient. I have no words to express my gratitude for what they have offered my mother for almost two years. A demonstrably difficult incident, in which with their own investigation and assistance they managed to extend her life. Many thanks!!!
