The unit is especially competent to evaluate patients with a transplanted kidney, verify compatibility to receive a donated kidney, evaluation of compatibility and monitoring of vascular access for hemodialysis. The unit has available an outpatient facility for patients from all areas, as well as a modern inpatient facility for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures equipped with the highest healthcare standards. The outpatient facility comprises the following

A modern equipped outpatient facility

• A unit for vascular access for hemodialysis
• A unit for clinical immunosuppression
• A unit for hemodialysis performed at home
• A unit for peritoneal dialysis

Echotomographic laboratory

• Echotomographic diagnostics of kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles
• Doppler for examination of kidney circulation
• Doppler for examination of blood vessels of the upper extremities in reference to the application and monitoring of vascular access for hemodialysis.

Accompanying biochemical laboratory

• Blood analyses
• Urine sediment
• Urine albumin/creatinine ratio
• Proteinuria

Microbiological laboratory

• Urine culture
• Hemoculture
• Urine swabs

Immunological and genetic laboratory

HLA typing
Luminex technique for anti HLA antibodies
Micro RNA for the presence of viruses, fungi, and bacteria

Modern radiological imaging diagnostics

• Multi slice computer tomography (256)
• CT angiography of renal blood vessels
• CT urography for evaluation of urinary ducts
• Magnetic resonance imaging
• Catheterization of renal blood vessels

The inpatient treatment facility (ward, semi-intensive care unit, and intensive care unit) has sufficient capacity to provide care and treatment of all types of kidney patients, including:

• Treatment and care of patients with all types of acute kidney conditions
• Patients whose chronic kidney disease has worsened
• Temporary access for hemodialysis
• Veno-venous hemodiafiltration

Kidney patients requiring kidney biopsy

• Трауматски повреди со краш синдром
• Multiorgan failure
• Compartment syndrome and rhabdomyolysis
• Sepsis

Patients with a transplanted kidney

• Acute graft rejection
• Chronic graft rejection
• Other damage to the graft

Patients with malignant arterial hypertension

Patients with complex immunological conditions that affect or that do not affect the kidneys

• Immunoadsorption
• Plasmapheresis
