Nephrology care during COVID 19
CKD Patients
We are using ZOOM to provide many office appointments by Video chat. You do NOT need to come in to the office – but - we do need current labs.
We encourage you to continue routine lab monitoring throughout these restrictions.
The labs have strict policies during this time and are making appointments to control the number of people in the facility.
Humboldt mobile phlebotomy will come to your home for a discounted $25 during Covid.
The RRA office is social distancing and using protective equipment. You are required to wear a mask and will be temperature screened.
Everyone should practice frequent hand washing with soap
Dialysis :
Dialysis clinics have always practiced infection control, but now patients must be temperature screened and wear masks. Apologies but no visitors are allowed into the treatment area at this time.
Dialysis is an essential life-saving treatment and should be continued during this crisis. Failure to keep to routine dialysis schedules hugely increases risk of hospitalization.
IF YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO SUSPECT EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 PLEASE CALL YOUR NURSE.
