The University Hospital Zurich offers a modern and centrally located Dialysis Center with 16 treatment places in the USZ Airport outpatient clinic. We are happy to look after you in a pleasant atmosphere at university level.
Dialysis is a medical procedure that replaces or supports kidney function in patients with renal insufficiency by removing excess fluid and toxins from the blood. This process uses special filters that mimic the function of healthy kidneys to cleanse the body of harmful substances and maintain the balance of electrolytes in the blood.
At the heart of what we do is providing comprehensive care for patients who require renal replacement therapy. If your kidneys are no longer functioning properly, we will help you choose the right dialysis treatment—one that is tailored to your needs and ensures you have the greatest possible independence. The following services are available at the dialysis center at Zurich Airport:
At the new outpatient clinic, we work closely with other specialized departments to address your concerns and offer all the consultation hours that are also available at the USZ Campus. Infusion therapies and ultrasound examinations are also available.
Vacations and Travel Despite Kidney Failure
For people with chronic kidney disease, it is entirely possible to travel and enjoy a relaxing vacation. The option of vacation dialysis and guest dialysis offers an opportunity to explore new places without having to forego high-quality medical care. With vacation dialysis, patients can receive treatment at specialized dialysis centers in their vacation destination.
However, careful planning is essential, especially for long-distance trips. It is advisable to schedule dialysis appointments well in advance and to consult with your healthcare team beforehand to ensure that the trip is medically safe. If necessary, important medical supplies and medications can be arranged in advance.
The locations of our dialysis centers, including our facility at Zurich Airport, offer excellent accessibility for travelers. Thanks to its proximity to the airport, patients can easily access high-quality medical care while enjoying their vacation in Switzerland or traveling to other countries.

Vacation dialysis allows dialysis patients to be treated at a different location during their vacation so that they can continue to receive their dialysis treatments while traveling.
Yes, many dialysis patients can go on vacation, but they must arrange dialysis treatments at another center in advance to ensure their care.
Before you go on vacation, you must make appointments for dialysis treatments at another center and ensure that you have all the necessary medical equipment and medication with you.
It is recommended that you contact the dialysis center at your destination at least a few weeks in advance to make your appointments and ensure that all arrangements can be made.
