Keep the questions, notes, and treatment-day details you want to remember in one place. These printables can be reused from your first treatment onward—print what you need or save the PDFs to your phone.
Use the packing list before you leave home, bring the questions sheet to treatment, keep important contacts and notes together, and use the terms guide when unfamiliar words come up. These tools are for organization and education; they do not replace your dialysis care team or serve as a medical record.
