NEW RESOURCES FOR TEENS
These booklets were developed for tweens and teens who learn their
kidneys are not working and they will need dialysis or a transplant. The
booklets provide a brief overview of coping with kidney disease, being part
of their health care team, the importance of diet, taking medication, and
treatment methods. They also touch on feelings related to having a
chronic illness, family and friends, and being a teen.
The development of both booklets included input from
kids currently on dialysis, parents, adults who had
kidney disease as children, and nephrologists.
Although both booklets are similar, one
focuses on teens who learn they
have kidney disease and the other is
for teens who already have cystinosis
and learn they now have kidney
disease as well.
