I have been fully informed by. Dr._________________, MD of the surgical and medical procedures involved, and the problems and risks attendant thereto
necessary to maintain my life in the treatment of my condition, which is chronic kidney failure. I recognize that as with most medical treatment, there are
alternative methods of treatment, but I understand that Hemodialysis is the most likely to be beneficial in the present circumstances.
This consent is for regular and repeated Hemodialysis treatments and for all additional services deemed reasonable and necessary by my physician(s), for the
optimal management of my kidney failure or any complications of the Hemodialysis procedures.
I understand that the Hemodialysis treatment may involve administration of local anaesthetic, insertion of needles into vascular access, administration of
medications and intravenous fluids, which includes by products of blood. The complications from such procedures may include blood loss, infection, sensitivity
reaction and heart failure

Diagnosis: Sex: Nephrologist:
Dialysis is substitution treatment for kidney function and is intended for persons suffering from advanced kidney
failure. The treatment is essential for maintenance of life but does not result in restoration of health. The dialysis
machine filters and rids the body of waste material, instead of the kidneys. In order to connect the patient to the dialysis
machine, it is necessary to prepare a connection between an artery and a vein by operation (shunt) in one of the limbs.
In certain cases, in the absence of such a shunt, a catheter is inserted temporarily to one of the body’s veins. Insertion of
a needle to the shunt or vein may cause pain and this may be carried out under local anesthetic.
In addition to the dialysis, it is necessary to adhere strictly to a special diet, take certain medications, and adopt a life
style according to instructions from the treatment team.
The treatment is carried out a number of times a week, according to the state of the patient, in a dialysis unit in hospital
or in the community. Every treatment takes a number of hours and after a short rest, the patient may generally return to
usual activity
I have been fully informed by Dr._____________ , M.D., of the surgical and medical procedures involved, and the
problems and risks attendant thereto necessary to maintain my life in the treatment of my condition, which is chronic
kidney failure. I recognize that as with most medical treatment, there are alternative methods of treatment, but I
understand that hemodialysis is the most likely to be beneficial in the present circumstances.
This consent is for regular and repeated hemodialysis treatments and for all additional services deemed
reasonable and necessary by my physician(s), for the optimal management of my kidney failure or any complications of
the hemodialysis procedures.
I understand that the hemodialysis treatment may involve administration of local anesthetic, insertion of needles
into the vascular access, administration of medications and intravenous fluids, which includes by-products of blood. The
complications from such procedures may include blood loss, infection, sensitivity reaction and heart failure.

Welcome to AGE Group Dialysis Center (Apalit Branch). In an attempt to provide safe and good quality care to
all patients equally, we have established the following dialysis center rules and patient responsibilities:
1. The dialysis center schedules patients for treatment within certain hours. We request patients arrive for their
scheduled treatment 30 minutes prior to their scheduled time. Patients will remain in the lobby until they are called-in
to the clinic by a staff member. Please refrain from walking into the clinic until called as staff members are caring for
others who require their attention. The staff makes every effort to have all patients receive their treatments as
scheduled, however please be respectful of staff and other patients when treatment times are delayed due to
unforeseen circumstances.
2. It is the patient's responsibility to be on time for their scheduled treatment. If the patient is late for dialysis, their
dialysis treatment may be shortened, as it may interfere with the other patients scheduled treatments. Patients need to
inform the clinic if they will not be arriving for their scheduled treatment or need to make schedule changes.
3. Patients who request to travel to other units on a temporary basis are required to provide advance notice to the Social
Worker allowing time for arrangements to be made. We recommend 15- Day notice as many units request updated
vaccinations, lab work, etc., prior to placement. In addition, we must know the return date to this facility. If there is to be
a delay or change in your scheduled return, please notify the unit as soon as possible. If appropriate notice is not given,
your regular scheduled treatment time may not be available.
4. An attempt will be made to have patients be seated at the same chair and pod on a regular basis, however due to
staffing issues and various individual treatment schedules, your chair may be changed from treatment to treatment.
5. An attempt will be made to schedule patients at their preferred shift and time. If the preferred time is not available
you will be placed on a waiting list for that time slot. Scheduling must take into consideration the needs of all the
patients in the unit, therefore, the patient might not always receive the dialysis schedule of their choice.
6. Eating within the dialysis center is not recommended and should be at the discretion of your physician. Visitors are
not allowed to eat in the treatment area.
7. This is a no-smoking facility, which includes the outside premises of the facility

Welcome to AGE Group Dialysis Center (Apalit Branch). In an attempt to provide safe and good quality care to all
patients equally, we have established the following dialysis center rules and patient responsibilities
8. Disruptive or unruly behavior in the dialysis center, on the part of a patient or visitor is unacceptable. Any patient who
demonstrates this type of behavior may have their dialysis treatment terminated at that time and requested to leave the
unit. Patients who continue to disrupt the proper functioning of the unit may be involuntarily discharged according to
the facility policy. Visitors will be requested to leave the facility and may be requested to not return.
9. Visitors will not be allowed in the unit while patients are being placed-on or taken-off dialysis. Visitors are expected to
remain with the patient and not wander throughout the clinic, respecting the privacy of other patients. Visitation is
controlled by the Charge Nurse on duty. Children under the age of 14 will not be permitted in the dialysis unit.
10. Patients will apply for Philhealth or other insurance programs when appropriate and to maintain coverage to the best
of their ability.
11. To achieve maximum well-being, patients will notify their physician and medical staff of their medical history and any
medical changes, including changes in medication.
12. Patients will acknowledge that failure to comply with the Nephrologists’ prescribed treatment times and schedule,
medications, diet, and fluid restrictions and other physician’s orders may result in declining health, hospitalization and
possibly death.
I have read and agree to comply with the above dialysis center rules and regulations.
