1.Can I get a number at your hospital? Is it difficult to see a doctor? A: You can definitely get a number! To solve this problem, we have set up an initial consultation system, a special outpatient system and an appointment system. These three systems exist to ensure that patients who come to our hospital are able to get a number and see a doctor. The initial consultation system means that the first time you come to see a doctor, you register for a general number, the nephrologist resident will take an initial look, issue a lab order, and make an appointment for a specialist in the specialized outpatient clinic. This system is set up to ensure that you have enough test information to help your diagnosis and treatment before you see the specialist clinic and the specialist clinic. Because patients come to the hospital for the first time with a lot of incomplete information, seeing a specialist clinic is a complete waste. The specialist outpatient system means that if your kidney disease has been diagnosed in our hospital or other hospitals, your future visits will be reviewed by the specialist outpatient clinic, and the doctors in the specialist outpatient clinic will only see 1~2 diseases. The specialization in the field can ensure the standardization of treatment and thus improve the efficacy. Appointment system: It means that all subsequent outpatient follow-ups are by appointment except for the first visit to our hospital. Please install the appointment date to come for follow-up. Kidney diseases are almost all chronic diseases and require long-term follow-up. 2.Do I want to be hospitalized? A: Whether you can be hospitalized depends mainly on your condition. The main purpose of hospitalization is diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, if hospitalization can solve the diagnostic problem (such as the need for kidney biopsy) or treatment problem (serious condition, infection, acute renal failure) of your kidney disease, the doctor will only give you hospitalization. Often, patients who come to our hospital for the first time ask for inpatient treatment. In fact, except for a few patients with serious conditions that affect their daily life, most patients do not need hospitalization at all. Especially for some patients with chronic renal failure, we hardly admit them to our hospital, because hospitalization is worthless and the treatment during hospitalization is the same as outpatient. 3.Is it difficult to be hospitalized? How long do I have to wait? A: Generally, we have to wait 2-10 days. Very few urgent patients can be hospitalized on the same day or the next day. For non-urgent patients, you can make an appointment with the nurse who registered you for hospitalization. 4.Is hospitalization expensive? What is the approximate cost? A: About 10-15,000 RMB for an average patient. It is impossible to estimate for serious patients. 5.How often do I have to go back to the hospital? A: Generally 1-6 months. Depends on the condition and actual situation.
