Renal Care Planner provides general educational information and personal organization tools for people affected by dialysis. The content is designed to help you understand common concepts, keep track of what matters to you, and prepare questions for your care team.
General information
Renal Care Planner does not diagnose conditions or provide individualized medical advice or treatment. Your dialysis prescription, medications, fluid and nutrition guidance, access care, and other treatment decisions should come from the healthcare professionals who know your individual situation.
Your notes are yours
RCP planners, logs, checklists, printables, and interactive tools are for personal organization and conversation support. They are not an official clinic chart, medical record, prescription, treatment order, or plan of care.
Symptoms and urgent concerns
If something feels new, concerning, or different during or around dialysis, contact your dialysis care team using the instructions they have given you. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency services.
Sources and updates
RCP works to use reliable sources and keep clinically substantive information current, but health guidance, products, and facility practices can change. Source and review information is provided on relevant pages when appropriate. See the Editorial Standards for more about how content is developed and reviewed.
Commercial content
Affiliate or sponsored relationships are disclosed where they are relevant. Commercial relationships do not determine RCP’s clinical explanations or replace guidance from your own care team.
