Your session log is the clinical record of your treatment between monthly reviews, and it is what makes prescription changes evidence-based.
What to know
- Record for every session: pre and post weight, blood pressure, session length, ultrafiltration volume and any alarms.
- Note symptoms — cramps, dizziness, headaches — and when in the session they occurred.
- Log access appearance and any needling difficulty.
- Bring the log to every review, and photograph it as a backup.
