LUND, Sweden & MUNICH, Apr 27, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Night dialysis treatment improves both health and quality of life -- new shifts across Europe

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.
