Medical Alert Cards for NDI Patients
People with Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus can become dehydrated quickly if they do not have access to water, especially during illness, travel, surgery, hospitalization, or emergency care. These medical alert cards are designed to help patients, families, schools, caregivers, and medical providers communicate the most important NDI care information quickly.
Each card was prepared with assistance from physicians on the NDIF Scientific Review Board and is available as a downloadable PDF in multiple languages.
