Following a "how-to"
approach, the long-awaited new edition of the leading dialysis reference book
covers all aspects of dialysis therapy in adults and children. Nephrologists,
nephrology nurses, and nephrology technicians are confronted daily with clinical
situations whose resolution is not immediately apparent. This text addresses
these situations, including techniques of dialysis, mechanical considerations,
complications, and dialysis for various diseases.
Reviews
"Members of the health care
team who have at least minimal experience with hemodialysis and/or peritoneal
dialysis would welcome this book as a resource to deepen their understanding of
concepts related to dialysis therapies and maintain and/or improve care
delivered to the ESRD patient."
