Chronic Kidney Disease Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. It can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, high blood pressure, and complications requiring dialysis or transplantation. In emergencies, these symptoms or treatments may be unknown to responders, potentially affecting care decisions. This fully printed Chronic Kidney Disease ICE (In Case of Emergency) card ensures your diagnosis and relevant medical information are communicated quickly and clearly.
Ideal for daily life, hospital visits, travel, or public settings, this card offers reassurance that your kidney condition is recognised and understood — even if you cannot explain it yourself.

What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive condition where kidney function declines over time, potentially leading to kidney failure. It can result from diabetes, high blood pressure, or other underlying diseases. Symptoms may be subtle initially but can include swelling, fatigue, and changes in urination. Treatment may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or dialysis. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders understand your condition and provide appropriate care tailored to your needs.
