Personal Review From A Kidney Patient, 25 Nov 1999
This indispensable manual is the complete reference guide to living with kidney disease. It includes sections on peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and transplantation, as well as information on diet, blood pressure, sexual problems, and much more. The expert authors provide you with the practical advice you need about a whole range of subjects, from diagnosis and treatment to the care options available. They also address the psychological aspects of kidney failure and its impact on family and friends too. All your questions about kidney failure are expertly answered by two health professionals with extensive experience in the field of renal medicine. Dr Andy Stein, MRCP, is a Senior Registrar in Nephrology at the Mayday Hospital, Croydon. Janet Wild RGN is a former Renal Nurse with over ten years experience. Contents of the Book: Introduction, What is kidney failure? Toxin 'clearance', Fluid balance, Blood Pressure, Anemia and Erythropoitin, Renal bone disease, Dialysis - the basics, Peritoneal dialysis, Haemodialysis, Transplantation, Blood tests, Diet, Psychological aspects, Sexual Problems, The treatment short fall, Glossary, Appendices and Index. I thoroughly recommend the book to you all. It is very easy to understand and gives positive and practical advice on living with kidney failure. The book tackles the questions you may feel uneasy asking your doctor. I have the book myself and many people who have visited my site have also brought it and said how useful they have found it.
