about
this title
This helpful guide provides a practical overview of the nutritional principles and pathophysiologic concepts specific to patients with renal disease. Physicians, dietitians, nurses and their clients will all benefit from these nutritional requirements and dietary guidelines. Now completely revised and updated, the Third Edition is even more concise and useful -- important points are bulleted for quick reference and numerous tables clarify essential material. Discussion includes dietary therapy, along with menus and lists of supplements that can enhance compliance. New in this edition: the impact of abnormal lipid metabolism; requirements for trace minerals and vitamins; and methods for assessing the adequacy of nutritional intervention in uremia.
