Caring for dialysis patients: the driving force of the “Kidney Power Team”
Beyond clinical work, Director Wu is committed to improving the quality of life of dialysis patients. The nephrology team he leads is known as the “Kidney Power Team” and shows outstanding team cohesion and a spirit of innovation.
Aware of the confusion dialysis patients face in controlling fluid intake, Director Wu and his team developed the “fluid-control dial” education tool, helping patients manage daily fluid intake in a more intuitive and convenient way and markedly lowering the risk of pulmonary edema or heart failure caused by improper fluid control. The initiative has been highly praised by patients and families.
