Book Description:
This fully revised handbook is a compact but clear & complete guide into all aspects of dialysis, from preparing patients for dialysis, details of both haemo- & peritoneal dialysis, into continuous haemofiltration techniques & complications of end stage renal disease. The book is aimed primarily at trainee nephrologists & renal nurses, but will be of relevance, use & interest into all other health care workers involved with patients with end stage renal disease such as pharmacists, dieticians, intensivists, & keen medical students. In this new edition, all issues have been completely updated & there are new issues on haemodiafiltration, new intradialytic monitoring techniques, new PD fluids, trials in haemodialysis & peritoneal dialysis, travel on dialysis, integrated care, role of predialysis nurses, supportive care, care of dying patients, pain control in ESRF, newer drugs such as darbepoietin, new vitamin D analogues, new anticoagulants & phosphate binders. The book is patient centred & practical, & therefore a useful guide when managing patients with end stage renal failure. mihd
