    Of course there is.

    In fact, travel dialysis may not be very common in China, but it is actually a very common thing in foreign countries.

    The first thing is to contact the hospital, then prepare the materials according to the requirements of the hospital, and then go to dialysis.

    Because overseas insurance should not cover dialysis, it may be expensive.

    The information required for hemodialysis is very important, so it is important to explain it to the doctor at the hospital where you are currently on dialysis and get all kinds of accurate information.

    Otherwise, the other hospital may not accept it, or may require a new blood test, and then perform temporary travel dialysis at the discretion of that doctor. This may result in more unnecessary costs.

    The people I've met think that dialysis is a very simple thing, just look up a little information on the Internet, or just say that it's not like this. I'm in Japan, but I think the requirements for dialysis are pretty much the same in each country.

    Dialysis kidney friends pay attention to 3 key points Traveling abroad is not a dream.

    Summer vacation travel is coming, and when everyone is planning their travel itinerary, kidney friends dare not go out rashly because they need dialysis. In fact, dialysis kidney friends only need to pay attention to 3 major points, whether it is peritoneal dialysis for daily dialysis or hemodialysis for kidney friends, you can also run around the earth!

    Prepare well before you go, pay attention to your physical condition, and bring your medical records in English

    Many chronic kidney patients are afraid of dialysis**, and always feel that after starting dialysis, their lives will become black and white, which will not only make life inconvenient, but also lose the freedom to travel. In fact, as long as you make a complete plan before the trip, traveling abroad and enjoying the world scenery is by no means an unattainable dream for kidney friends, and you can also have a relaxing and enjoyable time.

    Lian Lifen, chief nurse of Taoyuan Hospital's Kidney and Kidney Department, said that it is important to prepare before traveling, such as attending the itinerary briefing, understanding the local climate and your physical limits, and carrying daily medication and emergency backup medicines (cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine). You should also carry with you the emergency contact information and the summary of the medical record in English explained to the hospital, and make several copies in different places in case you need them.

    Avoid a diet high in phosphorus, potassium, and salt and check daily for edema

    Nurse Lian Lifen reminded that during the trip, you need to pay attention to diet and hygiene, avoid high-phosphorus, high-potassium and high-salt related diets, and check whether you have edema every day. You can also use the scale in the hotel to weigh yourself and carry a water bottle to control the amount of water you drink for a day.

    It is easy to forget to take your medicine during the trip, so you should remind yourself to take your medicine on time and bring a slightly larger amount than your schedule in case of travel or delays. Before departure, you should ask your doctor to issue a certificate of the name, dosage and allergy of the medicine you are taking, and bring it with you for customs inquiries or communication with medical staff from other places. During the tour, you should take the initiative to pay attention to your physical condition in the group action, do not exercise and overwork, and if you have any problems, you should urgently inform the group members, so as to go out happily and go home safely.
