Tell every doctor about your kidneys

Read along

Here is every word Neff says in the video.

1. Hi, I'm Neff! Here's a simple habit that helps your kidneys. Tell all your doctors about them.
2. Do you have kidney disease? Make sure all your doctors know. Tell your pharmacist, too.
3. Why does it matter? Some scans, like a CT or an MRI, use a special dye. It helps the pictures show up more clearly.
4. The dye leaves your body through your kidneys. So before a scan, tell the team you have kidney disease. They may check a kidney blood test first.
5. For most people, the dye can be used safely with the right plan. Tell the scan team about all the medicines you take, too.
6. Getting a new medicine? When your kidneys filter less, some medicines need a lower dose. Others need a new schedule. Doses can change over time, too.
7. So ask: Is this dose right for my kidneys? Your care team can check.
8. And please don't change a dose or stop a medicine on your own. Ask us first.
9. Keep a list of your medicines with you. Bring it to each visit.
10. We're here to help. Bring your questions to every visit. Let's take care of your kidneys together!
