Hi! I'm Neff, from The
Kidney Experts. Welcome!

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.363
Let's get you ready for your first visit.

3
00:00:08.946 --> 00:00:10.800
Most of your first visit is a talk.

4
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.200
We'll go over your health,
your medicines, and your blood pressure.

5
00:00:14.780 --> 00:00:17.240
We'll look at any blood
and urine results you have.

6
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:20.018
Those results help show
how your kidneys work.

7
00:00:20.564 --> 00:00:24.855
Here's what to bring. First, bring
your photo ID and your insurance card.

8
00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:29.500
Next, bring a list of all your medicines.
Put pills from the store on it, too.

9
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:33.935
Add vitamins, herbs, and supplements too.
Or just bring all your bottles.

10
00:00:34.593 --> 00:00:37.580
Do you check your blood pressure at home?
Bring your log.

11
00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:41.559
Have recent lab results or
hospital papers? Bring those too.

12
00:00:42.221 --> 00:00:44.720
Did we ask you to get lab
tests before your visit?

13
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:49.300
Then follow the steps we gave you. You
don't need to skip food for these tests.

14
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.619
Don't stop any medicine unless
we tell you to. Not sure? Ask us.

15
00:00:55.165 --> 00:00:59.120
Write down your questions before you come.
You can bring a family member or friend.

16
00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:00.552
They can help take notes.

17
00:01:01.191 --> 00:01:04.840
If something we say doesn't make sense,
ask until it does.

18
00:01:05.398 --> 00:01:08.300
We're here to help.
Bring your questions to every visit.

19
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:10.317
Let's take care of your kidneys together!
