A kidney specialist was reassuringly

His most recent trip: a cruise from Singapore. He travelled with a small group packaged by a specialist travel agent. "A kidney specialist was, reassuringly, in our group," Marsden recalls.Dialysis wasn't performed on the liner, which he chose because it allowed patients to have pre-arranged dialysis at ports of call.Adelaide-based Dialysis Abroad, a travel company specialising in holidays for kidney patients, markets tours for four to 40 people, to go on land trips or sea cruises to destinations as diverse as Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali and Hawaii."Family and friends are encouraged to join," says managing director Nancy Douglas-Irving OAM. "On land trips the maximum is eight having dialysis, 16 on a cruise."She says dialysis is offered in hospitals en route and, sometimes, aboard cruise ships where "we set up temporary dialysis units in two cabins".According to Wendy Marsden, Fabian's wife, "there's plenty to keep me entertained" while her husband has dialysis.
 
 Douglas-Irving and joint managing director Enzo Scipioni themselves needed dialysis for many years before undergoing successful kidney transplants. They identified holidays for dialysis patients as a niche after realising their "passion for travel" wasn't diminished by kidney failure.After customers with allergies contacted David Goldman, director and general manager of Sydney's Goldman Travel Corporation, explaining they didn't want allergic reactions wrecking their holidays, he asked around.Goldman discovered some Hyatt hotels have rooms branded Respire, which are hypoallergenic rooms that "undergo six-step processes to reduce airborne particles and minimise potential irritants" and include air-purification systems.One of Goldman's clients who stayed in one of these rooms advised him that their holiday was "wonderful".Another issue that can arise is that tightened airport security can be a problem for health-related equipment.  Agents advise travellers to keep medication prescriptions handy and to travel with prescribed medication in packaging with chemists' labels.
