Thanks to Hemodiafiltration (HDF) Niko feels his best

Niko’s health has improved thanks to HDF

Nikolaos "Niko" Koskinas was born in Greece, but one of his greatest journeys may have been the switch to HDF. He started feeling better just a few weeks after switching to in-center HDF dialysis. "I feel better." he says. "My blood pressure goes where it's supposed to be, and I feel good. No headaches."

One of the greatest benefits Niko has experienced is the improvement in his energy levels. HDF has allowed him to be more involved with his family, especially his children and grandchildren. "I talk to my kids every day," he says, "and I'm very, very happy."

Support from his care team

Niko's care team has noticed how much HDF is helping him. Clinical Manager Danielle Tressler, RN, CDN, said, "I have seen great improvements, both in his objective health, like his blood pressure, and his labs, but I've also seen an improvement of how he is feeling." Samuel Costa, Patient Care Technician noted, "He definitely has a more optimistic look on life now."

HDF gave Niko his life back

Niko is thriving in ways he never imagined possible. Before starting HDF, Niko experienced headaches and low energy that made it harder to enjoy time with his family. Now, with HDF helping him get the most out of his treatment, Niko told his care team he's more energetic and feels the best he's ever felt.
