absolute must have
My husband began dialysis over a year ago and it's been a constant search to find useful information--finally found it. This book is an absolute essential tool for those who are serious about dealing with their problem. It is not to be confused with a cookbook but is a wealth of information on almost all foods. Not much missing. Worth it's weight in gold to us. As a side note--the staff at his ...

It's an excellent general-interest survey any medical and public lending library should have.

Undoubtedly one of the best books on Dialysis related complications, written by leading authorities on the subject. The content is appropriately divided into three sections;the first one dealing with proceedure related complications, the second one with patient-related complications and the third one with special situations which contains a chapter on RRT in the intensive care units.Critical ...

Excellent resource for the Renal RD
I have found this book to be the best resource so far for creative ideas to motivate dialysis patients. I take basic ideas from this book and embellish them with my own creative juices. My patients and the staff think I'm a little bit crazy but we're having a great deal of fun and most importantly, I'm seeing excellent results in my clinic. I began at my clinic with less than 30% of my ...

Nuts and bolts kinetics
As you read this text it becomes apparent that it was written by an in-the-trenches clinical pharmacist. It focuses on the practical application of pharmacokinetics in patient care. The text is very readable, written in an easy to follow style. The tables and illustrations are well presented, providing insight to the topic. There are chapters on aminoglycosides, vancomycin, digoxin, ...

Great Study Guide for Certification
I used this book at a study guide for the nursing certification test in 2000. I passed with flying colors. It is comprhensive and to the point. There wasn't a subject in the test that was not covered in this book as well. This book is a much easier read than the ANNA curriculum. If you are looking to study for the CNN or CDN then look no further.

Dialysis from a Patient's Perspective
Outstanding Read! This is a great fictional novel that I highly recommend for patients on dialysis, those starting dialysis and anyone interested in dialysis. It reminds me so much of the acclaimed novel, CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES. It will be a classic for dialysis patients and I look forward to more great work from the author!

The Bible for Any Dialysis Patient
"The Handbook of Dialysis" is a must have for anyone who is a patient on dialysis or who is the caretaker of someone on dialysis. This book is written with a Nephrologist or Nephrology nurse in mind, but patients and caretakers can learn a great deal as well. It explains the whole dialysis process including reuse, vascular accesses, anticoagulation, nutrition, infections, sleep disorder, etc. ...

Lots of Information for Dialysis Patients and Caretakers of Dialysis Patients
My mother recently began dialysis and I've been looking for information about the requirements of someone who needs this particular diet and why it is necessary. This book is filled with lots of information and is organized into TAB indexed sections for easy reference. I wish it had more recipes, but with the information given, I can remake existing dishes into ones that are suitable for her ...

Cardiovascular impacts of dialysis.
More and more emphasis is laid on the fact that dialysis treattment has a massive impact on cardiovascular disease. Many factors have been identificated as riskfactors. Many approaches have been attempted in order to decrease the risk for cardiovascular disease. Dr Dorhout Mees wrote an excellent review about the many aspects of cardiovascular disease in dialysis. I can recommend this to anyone ...

Springer, 2007

Good for clinical nephrology fellows
This book is helpful for those entering fellowship in nephrology. I'm sure pathology residents and energetic medical students would find it useful too. The book is broken down into clinical classifications of renal disease, one per chapter, and the possible histologies are displayed for each. Pictures are in color. It is not a reference book, but it is a manageable size to keep in a backpack ...

Thank God for Dr Walser
This book, in my opinion, is a must for kidney patients. Well written and easy to understand, it gave me a much better understanding of CKD and what I need to do to live a longer and healthier life. Dialysis is not something I want to experience. After being diagnosed with CKD 18 months ago (stage 3)I did a lot of research on diet, etc. and happened upon Dr. Walser's book. With the approval ...

A remarkable, heartfelt narrative about dialysis & humanity
My fiancee bought me this book along with a few others on kidney disease after my grandfather was told that he would soon begin dialysis treatments. I am really grateful that I had the opportunity to read it. It is informative, enjoyable, and most of all, insightful. I have purchased 3 more copies --- 1 for my mother; 1 for my grandpa's two living sisters to share; and 1 for his nephrologist to ...

Panicked? GET THIS BOOK!
With my husband's diagnosis of renal failure, dialysis, and future transplant also came the nastiest diet restrictions imaginable. I was losing my mind trying to keep track of sodium, phosphorous, potassium, carbs, and protein while cooking for him - until I got this book. I've been carryiing it around with me constantly since I got it a few weeks ago. It does a much better job of explaining the ...

Mixed feelings on this one
An older woman, Claudia Bass, has made her mother's journals famous by publishing them - Dr. Bass is a noted historian and scholar. And she is mean as a snake...Her granddaughter, Meg Mabry, and she are at odds mostly, maybe they are too alike and don't acknowledge that in each other - Meg has refused to read the famous journals. Maybe to irritate her grandmother, maybe not wanting to know ...

Dropsy, Dialysis, Transplant: A Short History of Failing Kidneys (Johns Hopkins Biographies of Disease)

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007

A wonderfully interesting and informative book
I enjoy reading books on diseases, and have read several - on such subjects as smallpox, polio, bubonic plague, and others. Well, this book is slightly different, in that instead of focusing on a specific disease, it looks at diseases of the kidneys. As a genealogist, I have often read seen family histories that mention "dropsy" and death certificates that mention "Bright's Disease." But, what ...
