Knowing the members of your healthcare team
Good healthcare is always a team effort - especially for people with chronic kidney disease. Since each member of the healthcare staff contributes to your care, it is important for you and your family to build a good working relationship with them.
How well you and your healthcare team talk to each other is important. It's part of your healthcare. Ask questions if the explanations or instructions are unclear. Mention any problems you are having, even if your clinician doesn't ask. Let your healthcare team know if you have concerns about a treatment or change in your daily life. Taking an active role in your healthcare will help you feel more in control. You and your healthcare team will need to work together to make treatment choices that are best for you.
