Description
Here's an in-depth, quick-reference, problem-solving resource for those involved in the care of dialysis patients. More than 120 world-class
authorities discuss dialysis techniques, mechanical considerations, and complications related to various diseases for both pediatric
and adult patients. Selected annotated references and excellent cross-referencing between chapters help you find answers fast, and more
than 100 photos, drawings, charts, and tables, mostly in color, clarify complex topics. Providing practical, immediately useful guidelines
that can be applied directly to patient care, this book is a "must-have" for all dialysis caregivers.
