Weather can be a challenge when it comes to making it to a dialysis treatment. If weather prevents a patient from making it to a treatment, their care team implements a plan to manage and monitor their health until they can receive a treatment and additional follow up care.
It’s vital to get excess waste, minerals and fluid out of the body. This is why we encourage patients to never miss a treatment and to work with their care teams if they have to miss due to weather or emergency.
Making it to dialysis treatment can be challenging for a variety of reasons. From transportation to coping with depression, there can be many reasons why patients may decide to miss a treatment.
It’s important to know there are health risks when you miss a treatment without consulting your care team for follow up care. These include being:
Missing 1 treatment a week for a year = missing 4 months of treatment
Stopping 15 minutes early = 39 hours of treatment a year
Talk to your health-care team about options if you are struggling with making it to your appointments.
