Useful preparation for international patients Chen Wei is listed in MedToChina's specialist directory for Nephrology at The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. For a first case review, patients should prepare a one-page diagnosis and treatment summary, recent test reports with dates and reference ranges, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history, and kidney function trends, urine tests, dialysis history if any, blood pressure logs, and medication history. This profile is most useful for patients who need kidney function review, dialysis or transplant-related preparation, blood pressure and medication history review. A short timeline of symptoms, previous treatment, response, side effects, and current goals helps the hospital understand whether the request is suitable for outpatient consultation, inpatient evaluation, second opinion, or further testing. Questions to clarify before booking - Which department should review the case first? - Which records must be translated before the hospital can assess the request? - Are original imaging files, pathology materials, or lab trends needed? - Is the expected visit for consultation only, or could tests or admission be required? - What travel timing is realistic after the hospital reviews the records? Coordination note MedToChina can help organize records, translate core documents, and communicate appointment requirements. Final diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and medical decisions must come from the hospital or licensed physician.
