Patient education before starting dialysis and recurring treatments

Patient education comes before the first dialysis, an apheresis or a kidney biopsy. medudoc prepares patients for it at home – with a digital medical history, a bilingual consent sheet and electronic signature. The signed documents remain available in the patient portal.

Recurring treatments

Prepared for the first session

Dialysis and apheresis take place in recurring sessions; they begin with patient education and consent. medudoc brings both into one digital workflow and records the course in the consent trail.

  • Dialysis

    Before starting dialysis

    Before the first haemodialysis or the placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter, patients enter their medical history and medication at home. Physicians review the case in the HCP Dashboard and approve it.

    • Haemodialysis, haemofiltration and haemodiafiltration
    • Peritoneal dialysis catheter, revision and removal
    • Shunt and dialysis catheter in vascular surgery
  • Apheresis

    Plasmapheresis and immunoadsorption

    Apheresis treatments also take place over several sessions. The signed consent sheet is available as a PDF/A with the consent trail and remains accessible to patients in the patient portal.

    • Plasmapheresis treatment
    • Immunoadsorption and apheresis
    • Lipid apheresis
  • Kidney procedures

    Kidney biopsy and renal denervation

    Anticoagulants appear in the HCP Dashboard with the preoperative recommendations of the specialist societies. Whether and when a medication is paused is decided by the physician.

    • Kidney puncture and biopsy
    • Renal denervation
  • Patient account

    One access for further procedures

    With the optional medudoc patient account, patients can use their access across treatments, for example for further procedures. An account is never required.

    • Optional, with multi-factor authentication
    • Without an account via link or QR code
