Renal Disorders & Driving Safety
Overview
Chronic kidney disease and dialysis can lead to fatigue, dizziness, or cognitive slowing, especially after treatment sessions.
Although renal disorders may not always disqualify you from driving, the NDLS requires disclosure when a condition may impair your ability to drive safely.
At DAI, we assess how your renal health, medications, and energy levels impact your driving in real situations.
Our evidence-based reports can support your case for licence renewal or help ensure you are driving without risk to yourself or others.
