Here is every word Neff says in the video.
- Hi, I'm Neff! Let's talk about when to call us between visits.
- Do you notice new swelling? It might be in your legs, feet, hands, or face. Or maybe your eyes look puffy when you wake up. Call us.
- Do you see blood in your urine? Call us right away. Are you peeing less than usual? Call us about that, too.
- Are you sick with throwing up or diarrhea? Call us about your medicines. Some may need a change while you're sick.
- Please don't stop a medicine on your own. Ask us first.
- Do you check your blood pressure at home? Ask us what to do if a reading is very high or very low.
- Think it's an emergency? Call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. For other questions, call us.
- Keep track of what you notice. Write down when it started, and if it's getting better or worse.
- We're here to help. Bring your questions to every visit. Let's take care of your kidneys together!
