Starting dialysis is a major life change, and having access to reliable information can help you feel more prepared and confident. The New ESRD Patient Orientation Packet (NEPOP) was developed to provide patients and their families with essential information about kidney disease, dialysis treatment, and the resources available to support their care. Whether you are new to dialysis or looking to better understand your treatment, NEPOP serves as a trusted guide to help you navigate your kidney care journey.
The packet includes easy-to-understand information on dialysis treatment options, patient rights and responsibilities, emergency preparedness, nutrition, infection prevention, medications, transportation, kidney transplantation, and community support services. It also offers practical tips to help you prepare for treatment, communicate with your healthcare team, and become an active partner in your care.
