Kidney Disease and Education
When your kidneys no longer work, you will need to follow a special type of diet and attend regularly scheduled dialysis treatments to assist with fluid removal and waste products. Once you are at the clinic, the dialysis staff, dietitian and social services can work collaboratively with you for education on renal diet, fluid restrictions, the dialysis treatment and social services. You will be a part of an interdisciplinary team to direct your dialysis treatment and care.
