Pocket Guide to Thinking About Genetics and Kidney Disease
If you are on dialysis, particularly hemodialysis, there is an increased risk of infections at the site where the dialysis access is placed. Individuals on longterm dialysis, who have a central venous catheter (CVC) as their form of vascular access are at an increased risk of exposure to Cather-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs).
The Pocket Guide is a tool to help patients and caregivers have more effective dialogue with their healthcare teams.
