Patients are routinely seen for outpatient visits as follows:
- Month 1: Twice a week for one week; Once a week for four weeks
- Months 2-3: Every two weeks
- Months 4-12: Once a month by nephrology or clinic
- After Month 12: Annual checkup and every two to three months as indicated by nephrologist (usually)
This schedule may be altered after the third month to enable nephrology to reclaim responsibility for the patient's care.
