Organizer only — not medical adviceThis binder is an organizer for your records. It does not provide medical advice. Every target (labs, fluid, blood pressure, dry weight) is left blank for your care team to fill in, because targets are individual. Always follow your nephrologist, dialysis team, pharmacist, and dietitian.

Questions
How do I receive my files?
Checkout is handled by Etsy. Right after purchase, Etsy emails you a download link, and the files stay available in your Etsy account under Purchases. Nothing is shipped.
Will the fillable PDF work on my computer or phone?
Yes. Type, tick boxes, and save in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free), Apple Preview, or a modern browser such as Chrome. On a phone or tablet, Acrobat Reader gives the most reliable form-filling.
Does it tell me what my numbers should be?
No. Every target is left blank for your care team to fill in, because targets are individual. The binder is for recording; your nephrologist and dialysis team set the goals.
Does it work for home or peritoneal dialysis?
Yes. Alongside the in-center treatment log, it includes a home / peritoneal dialysis exchange log and a home blood pressure and weight log.
