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."
