Current

62.1	Loss of both kidneys causing loss of renal function and requiring permanent dialysis or transplant	56 to 75
62.2	Serious damage to both kidneys, requiring temporary or intermittent dialysis	31 to 55
	Examples of factors affecting ISV assessment
	• the effect of dialysis and loss of kidney function on activities of daily living
	• the length of time for which dialysis was required or the frequency of intermittent dialysis
	• ongoing requirement for medication, for example, to control blood pressure
	• whether the injury caused the need for dietary changes, and if so, for how long
	Comment about appropriate level of ISV
	• An ISV at or near the bottom of the range will be appropriate if dialysis was required for an initial 3-month period, with intermittent dialysis required after that.
	• An ISV at or near the top of the range will be appropriate if the injury required dialysis for about 1 year and ongoing dietary changes and medication.
