In an emergency nobody scrolls through a phone. The numbers need to be on the wall.
What to know
- Print and display: emergency services, the Trivita 24/7 line, your nephrologist and your backup centre.
- Include your access type, dry weight, allergies and current medication list on the same sheet.
- Give a copy to anyone who might be in the house during a session.
- Update it whenever your prescription or medication changes.
Talk to your care team
This topic is part of Emergency Preparedness, one of ten modules in the Trivita Learning Hub. If anything here contradicts what your own nephrologist or dialysis nurse has told you, follow your care team — they know your prescription, your access and your history.
Trivita's dialysis nurses answer our care line 24 hours a day on 055 242 1070, including for people who are not yet our patients.
Education, not medical advice. This page explains home hemodialysis in general terms for patients and care partners in the UAE.
