Product Details

Overview

Living with kidney disease means running a quiet mountain of small jobs — fluids, labs, medicines, appointments, and the words of several different clinicians — on top of the condition itself. The Kidney Care Binder gathers that whole job into one calm, fillable 43-page system. Its heart is the 60-Second Day: one line a day covering fluids in and out, weight, energy and medicines. Around it sit fluid and weight logs, a lab tracker built around your own care team’s target ranges, a complete medication system, one-page appointment prep and doctor-visit reports, and food lists that record — only record — what your own kidney team has told you. Designed with the patient, and usable by the family member who helps them.

What’s Included

• Kidney Care Binder — US Letter PDF (43 pages, fillable + printable, 1,591 fillable fields)
• Kidney Care Binder — UK A4 PDF (43 pages, identical field set) — both sizes in one download, no choosing
• Spreadsheet companion (XLSX) — 7 sheets: Read Me, Fluid Log (balance column calculates itself), Symptom & Energy Log, Lab Tracker, Appointments, Medication List, Dialysis Log (Optional) — for Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel and Apple Numbers
• Inside the binder: Emergency One-Pager + cut-out fridge card and two wallet cards
• The pages: Cover · How to Use · My Kidney Care at a Glance · My Care Team · Emergency One-Pager · Emergency Cards · The 60-Second Day ×3 (6 weeks) · My Fluid Targets · Daily Fluid & Weight Log ×2 · Symptom & Energy Log ×2 · Weekly Review ×2 · My Tests & My Target Ranges · Lab Results Log ×2 · Lab Trend Worksheet ×2 · Medication Master List · Weekly Medication Schedule · Medication Changes Log · Appointment Log · Dialysis Session Log ×2 (optional) · Appointment Prep One-Pager · Doctor-Visit Report One-Pager · Foods My Care Team Told Me to Enjoy / Limit / Avoid · A Day That Works for Me · Questions for My Team · What My Team Told Me · When to Get Help Promptly · Notes ×2

Key Benefits

• Sixty seconds a day keeps the record your care team finds most useful — fluids, weight, energy, medicines — with no streaks, no guilt, and blank days allowed
• Every target is your team’s own — fluid goals, watched weights and lab ranges are blank fields labelled “as my care team set it”, so the binder fits any stage and any plan
• Appointments stop leaking information — a prep one-pager going in and a printable visit report to hand over, so ten minutes with the doctor covers everything
• Your team’s words stop evaporating — food guidance, instructions and warning signs are logged with who said them and when
• Dialysis-ready, but never dialysis-assuming — session logs are clearly marked optional pages
• Large, calm, readable type with a helper line at the top of every section and a page number on every page

Who Is This For?

• People living with chronic kidney disease at any stage — monitoring, pre-dialysis, dialysis, or waiting for transplant — who want their records in one place
• Family members and carers who help track fluids, medicines, labs and appointments for someone with kidney disease
• Anyone whose care is split across a kidney team, GP, dietitian and dialysis unit, and who is tired of repeating (and forgetting) what each one said
• Buyers who want a tracker that respects their clinicians: this system organizes YOUR team’s guidance; it never replaces it with generic advice

How It Works

1. Download instantly — both paper sizes (US Letter + UK A4) and the spreadsheet are in one purchase.
2. Type on screen (phone, tablet or computer) or print and write by hand — every tracking page is fillable AND printable, and refill pages reprint free forever.
3. Set up the front pages once: At a Glance, Care Team, Emergency One-Pager — then run the 60-Second Day most days.
4. Before each appointment, fill the Prep One-Pager; at the visit, hand over the Visit Report. Log results, changes and your team’s words the day you hear them.

Why It’s Different

Most kidney trackers are a single spreadsheet or a few log pages — and the “kidney diet” printables sold elsewhere go further and print generic food rules, as if one renal diet fit every patient. It doesn’t, and printing one would be irresponsible. This binder is a complete system (print + fillable + spreadsheet) that takes the opposite position on every page: fluids, labs, foods and warning signs are structured as your care team’s own guidance, recorded by you — blank target fields, attribution lines, and not a single printed range, limit or recommendation. It also carries the layer spreadsheet-only rivals lack: printable doctor-visit reports and emergency cards, large readable type, and tested compatibility in both Google Sheets and older Excel versions.

Delivery & Compatibility

Instant download after purchase. PDFs open in any standard reader (Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview, browser PDF viewers) and are fillable on phone, tablet and computer; every page also prints cleanly at home. The spreadsheet uses only standard formulas (a simple in-minus-out balance) tested for Google Sheets and older-Excel parity — no macros, nothing exotic. US Letter and UK A4 are both included; you never have to resize or choose. Printable pages are undated and refill-friendly: start any day, reprint trackers as often as you need.

Disclaimer

This binder is an organizational and educational tool. It is not medical advice, does not diagnose, treat or monitor any condition, and does not replace the guidance of your own healthcare providers, who know your history. It contains no diet plan, no food or nutrient recommendations, no lab reference ranges and no treatment guidance: food lists, target ranges, fluid goals and warning-sign pages are blank structures to be completed only from your own care team’s advice. Dialysis pages are optional record pages, not treatment instructions. In an emergency, call 911 (US) / 999 (UK) or your local emergency number.
