Being on dialysis doesn’t mean you can’t take a vacation or go on a business trip. In fact, many of our patients return from their travels full of adventurous stories to share with their treatment teams.

When daily dialysis patients travel, they temporarily switch to dialysis three times a week, in-center. This allows them to travel in the same manner they would if they there were always on a traditional dialysis schedule. When you return home from your trip, you go back to your daily dialysis schedule.

With planning and preparation, you can travel almost anywhere in the world and keep to your treatment schedule. Talk with your doctor and your social worker and let them know about your plans. Whether you need information on dialysis centers at your destination or a checklist to make sure you pack everything you need, you’ll find it here on our website.

Enjoy your trip!
