Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up Service is a professional home health service that enables the evaluation of the general health status, treatment compliance and daily care needs of individuals receiving regular dialysis treatment in the home environment. Thanks to the Happ Health Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up Service, the patient's vital signs, fluid balance, weight change, edema status, vascular access and general health status are monitored by expert healthcare personnel.
This service supports the monitoring of patients undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in accordance with the current treatment plan. The medications used by the patient, diet, fluid consumption, amount of urine and complaints experienced after dialysis are evaluated. If necessary, guidance is given to apply to the relevant nephrologist or dialysis center.
How Does the Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up Service Treat?
Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up is not a direct treatment method. It is a follow-up service that supports the regular and safe maintenance of the patient's current dialysis treatment, early recognition of changes in health status and prevention of possible complications.
The patient's blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and weight are monitored. Symptoms such as edema, shortness of breath, weakness, nausea, loss of appetite and change in consciousness are evaluated. The vascular access or peritoneal dialysis catheter site is checked for infection, redness, pain and discharge.
What are the Advantages of Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up Service?
Evaluating the patient at home without the need to visit the healthcare institution frequently provides time and comfort. It offers significant convenience, especially for individuals with limited mobility, the elderly, or those experiencing fatigue after dialysis.
Happ Health offers this service with experienced medical staff. The patient's general health status, compliance with treatment, fluid balance and vascular access are evaluated regularly. Patients and their relatives are informed about daily care and symptoms to watch out for.

Things to Consider in Home Dialysis Patient Examination and Follow-up Service
Compliance with the treatment plan, fluid and nutrition control, regular medication use and protection of vascular access are of great importance in dialysis patients. Changes in the patient's health status should be closely monitored.
Sharing Medical Information
The patient's dialysis type, session days, current diseases, medications used, allergies and previous complications should be shared with the healthcare team.
Laboratory results, current prescriptions, dialysis records and the recommendations of the attending physician should be available. Changes in medications should not be made without physician approval.
Hygiene and Environment Preparation
The patient's environment should be clean, tidy and adequately ventilated. Care should be taken to keep the fistula, graft or catheter area clean.
There should be no unnecessary contact with the catheter entry area, and dressing materials should be stored in clean and dry conditions. Particular attention should be paid to the hygiene of the procedure environment in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
Post-Procedure Follow-Up
The patient's blood pressure, weight, fluid consumption, urine amount and edema status should be monitored regularly. Blood pressure should not be measured, blood should not be taken, and heavy loads should not be carried from the arm with fistula.
If fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weight gain, significant edema, loss of vibration in the fistula, redness, pain or discharge in the catheter area are observed, the dialysis center should be contacted. If an emergency health problem develops, emergency health services should be sought without delay.
