Our recommendations

We provide changing rooms, televisions with personal headphones, wifi internet access and a snack per session.

CLOTHING

Dress suitable for dialysis is recommended (jogging suits or pyjamas).

PERSONAL TREATMENT

• Bring your current prescriptions with you.
• Don't forget to ask for your prescriptions to be renewed.

HYGIENE

On arrival in the dialysis rooms, patients must wash their hands and fistula if they have one.

• Hydro-alcoholic solutions are available at the entrance to the rooms for patients to use before and after treatment.
• In the event of a cold, cough or febrile syndrome, patients are advised to wear a mask.
• If you have recently been hospitalised abroad, it is important to inform your supervisor.

FISTULA

A fistula must be created to enable you to be dialysed.

You will need to learn how to monitor its proper functioning (characteristic beats).

• Avoid wearing watches, jewellery or dressings that are too tight.
• Do not compress the fistula while sleeping
• Protect the fistula when working or doing physical activities
• Consult your doctor before using creams or detergents.

TRANSPORT

The nephrologist will prescribe transport directly related to treatment. It is covered by social security.

• If you take an approved taxi, VSL or ambulance, payment is made directly between your health insurance fund and the carrier.
• If you use your own vehicle or public transport, keep your receipts and send them to the secretariat each month.
• We will give you a transport voucher each month or before you leave so that you can be reimbursed.
