Oxford Handbook of Dialysis (Oxford Medical Handbooks)

The Oxford Handbook of Dialysis is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of dialysis, covering patient preparation, details of both haemo- and peritoneal dialysis, continuous haemofiltration techniques, and complications of end stage kidney disease.

This new edition has been completely updated with new material on topics such as haemofiltration, monitoring techniques, infection prevention, new PD fluids, trials in haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, integrated care, role of predialysis nurses, supportive care, care of dying patients, pain control, and newer drugs such as darbepoietin, new vitamin D analogues, and new anticoagulants.

With new chapters on transplantation and dialysis in Acute Kidney Injury, this handbook continues to be the essential resource for anyone managing patients with end stage renal failure.
