Your First Clinic Visit

Your initial visit with a nephrologist will begin with a family conference of your child’s current health, medical history and family history. A clinic visit generally lasts up to an hour, but can be longer if it’s a CCS day or your child needs a test or procedure. Also, inform your child’s doctor of any past operations or major illnesses that your child has had.

Come Prepared

• Bring your insurance or referral information
• Bring a list of any current medications
• Inform the health care team of drug allergies
• Write a list of questions that you may have for the doctor
• Bring family history (if applicable)

The doctor will perform a complete physical examination. The nephrologist may feel the need to order certain tests or suggest a procedure to improve your child’s condition. Questions during this time are always encouraged, because it is very important that you understand your child’s situation fully and are comfortable with the treatment plan prescribed.
