I am a male in my 60s who 2 years ago had a Double lung Transplant at Freemans Hospital in Newcastle. Due to particular Immune suppressant drugs I developed stage 5 kidney failure. This was first discovered by the Renal unit at the Ulster Hospital in Belfast. I had a catheter installed to support dialysis. I attend the renal unit 3 times a week for treatment.
Since starting treatment I have developed a rapport with the Doctors and Nurses within the Renal unit. When I first started dialysis the staff explained exactly what would happen, this really put me at ease, they are very professional, polite, confident and competent people. One of the Nurses, Anita, made me aware of the option to have a fistula created in my arm, I followed her suggestion which has been extremely beneficial.
I can not speak highly enough of the Renal unit staff. Thank you all for your excellent care.
