About Me

Dr. Lubomir Polascin

Hi, I’m Lubomir Polascin — a Medical Doctor and Internal Medicine Specialist by profession, a Fiction and Non-Fiction Writer by calling, and a Self-Taught Programmer by passion.

Who I Am

My work rests at the intersection of medicine, storytelling, and technology. Medicine sharpens my clinical precision; writing lets me explore the human condition through fiction and non-fiction; and technology empowers me to solve complex problems. As a consultant, I bridge these worlds to deliver thoughtful, well-informed solutions.

I approach every challenge with curiosity and rigor—whether I’m treating patients, debugging code, translating nuanced text, or exploring AI.


Professional Identity

I am a medical doctor who graduated in General Medicine (1995) and specialized in Nephrology (2009). I am attested in Internal Medicine (1998) and certified in Abdominal Ultrasonic Imaging in Adults (2009).

Areas of Expertise:

  • Dialysis and renal replacement therapies (Hemodialysis, Hemodiafiltration, Hemofiltration)
  • Vascular access ultrasonography for dialysis
  • Extra-corporeal and intra-corporeal elimination therapies
  • Membrane plasma separation and related therapies
  • Kidney transplantation

I have extensive experience teaching and lecturing in Internal Medicine, Diabetology, nephrology, and related fields. I am also a translator specializing in English-Slovak and Slovak-English medical translation and software localization.


Technology & Programming

I am deeply involved in information technology, computer science, and programming. My interests include:

  • HTML / CSS / JS
  • PHP & SQL
  • Python
  • Linux / Unix
  • AI & FOSS

Background & Journey

I began my medical education at the University of Pavol Jozef Šafárik in Košice, Slovakia. Since 1995, my focus has been on dialysis and nephrology. From 2013 to 2022, I served as Chief Medical Officer/Head Physician at two dialysis centers in Bratislava.


Personal Touch

Born in 1971 in Czechoslovakia, I was raised in Kyjov. My Ruthenian roots inform my worldview. My passions include reading, travel, philosophy, and poetry.

Nephrology

Nephrology is an essential medical specialty dealing with the kidneys, vital organs responsible for fluid balance, waste filtration, and blood pressure regulation.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Management of progressive loss of kidney function over time due to diabetes, hypertension, or other factors.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)

Treatment of sudden, often temporary, loss of kidney function caused by infections, dehydration, or toxins.

Haemodialysis

A procedure where a dialysis machine and a special filter called an artificial kidney, or a dialyzer, are used to clean your blood.

Peritoneal Dialysis

A treatment that uses the lining of your abdomen (belly), called the peritoneum, and a cleaning solution called dialysate to clean your blood.

Transplantation

The best treatment for kidney failure. A healthy kidney is placed into your body to do the work your own kidneys can no longer do.

Utilizing ultrasound, kidney biopsy, and advanced lab tests to accurately diagnose renal conditions.
