Kidney Matters - Issue 16 Spring 2022
Kidney Matters is our free quarterly magazine for everyone affected by kidney disease. This issue includes features on delayed graft function, the impact of CKD on families, friends and care-partners, improving organ donation, a husband's perspective on the challenges faced from caring for someone with CKD, and an article all about a family's journey from dialysis to transplant and all the things in between. As well as this, the Kidney Kitchen features a warming pear and blackberry crumble, perfect for Valentine's Day! We know that being a kidney patient can be tough at times and that accessing the right help at the right time isn’t always easy. We’ve spent a great deal of time talking and listening to kidney patients about what we can do to address this at every stage of kidney disease. The response was overwhelmingly ‘improved communication’ on what is going on in the kidney world, how other patients manage their life with kidney disease and what is available to them in terms of support and how to access it. Kidney Matters has been developed to tackle this as well as the many other issues kidney patients face in day-to-day life. Along with shared patient experiences, Kidney Matters provides information on how to access emotional and practical support, financial assistance through our grant schemes, advice from leading kidney specialists and tips on how to keep as well as possible by eating a healthy diet whilst on dialysis.

THE WORLD AHEAD OF US
FIRST CLASS HAEMODIALYSIS CARE
ON BOARD THE EUROPA 2
Visiting faraway countries or travelling
the world may seem like an unachievable
dream for people who rely on dialysis.
And yet these are dreams that have been
coming true since 2013 on the EUROPA 2.
We offer our guests a fully equipped
haemodialysis station and care provided
by dialysis specialists, in addition to the
on-board hospital providing you with the highest standard of
medical care. With state-of-the-art technology and our own
osmosis unit, we can guarantee dialysis just like you get at
home on almost every cruise on the EUROPA 2. We will schedule
your dialysis times to ensure that you do not miss out on any
detail of your cruise, providing you with peace of mind to enjoy
the luxury atmosphere on board whilst sailing to some of the
world's most idyllic destinations.
On board MS EUROPA 2, the casual luxury
ship which was rated 5-stars-plus by the
Berlitz Cruise Guide 2020, you can enjoy
the freedom that takes you places in the
company of a maximum of 500 guests
and in a relaxed atmosphere.
You will be staying exclusively in spacious
outside suites, each with their own veranda
and ocean view. In the OCEAN SPA and fitness
area, a total of 10,764 ft² are dedicated to
pampering your body and soul. And in the
seven restaurants with free choice of seating,
you will be treated to culinary moments of
indulgence and stylish treats.
For further information, call our valued
partner Cruise Dialysis who will take
care of your cruise booking; liaise with
your dialysis unit and arrange your
haemodialysis treatments onboard.
