I am also a patient in the Nephrologist clinic and at my last appointment in April I was informed I had a kidney function of 18 GFR and I needed to be referred to the Renal Liaison staff who I saw straight after - they give you a leaflet with their contact details and a list of websites to look at informing you of your condition and decisions you have to make regarding transplant and dialysis and then they send you away to await your next appointment - traumatized by what you have just been told. And despite my attending the clinic for the past two years and on average every three months it has been a shock to me to be given this news as my letters did not inform me of my steady decline and no doctor showed concern or advised me of this. It therefore be my suggestion that all patients are informed when they reach stage 3/4 of future expectations.
