dialysis session




It is important at this time NOT to have any reason to get admitted in a hospital.




During this quarantine period, avoid excessive water intake and refrain from adapting a diet that's high in red meat, salt, phosphorus, uric acid and potassium (like fruits and fruit juices). Nutritional supplements specifically designed for patients on dialysis are also available. This is not the time for your Nephrologist to be increasing the frequency of your dialysis that may increase your exposure to any health facility.

Face masks can provide protection not just for you but also to your doctors and co-dialysis patients. Make sure to wear one when going to the dialysis unit especially if you have mild symptoms as mentioned above.




Advise your relatives, caregivers or anybody who stay at home with you to observe distancing if they have symptoms of COVID-19 as mentioned above.
