Nephrology and dialysis centre
"We attach great importance to professionally competent care, a pleasant, patient-friendly atmosphere and good contact with the referring GPs." Dr Jörg Bleisch, Head Physician Nephrology and Dialysis Centre
Nephrology is the medical speciality that deals with kidney diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. Our specialists treat the entire spectrum of kidney diseases. This also includes renal replacement therapies such as haemodialysis (blood washing), peritoneal dialysis (peritoneal dialysis) or kidney transplantation. In order to provide you with the best possible treatment, we work closely with other specialist departments and your family doctor.
