Overview

This practical, straightforward introduction to dialysis takes an interdisciplinary approach, providing an overview of dialysis technology and the relationship of dialysis to nursing, nutrition, and medicine. Using its hallmark question-and-answer format, the content starts with the basics, including a review of fluids and electrolytes and the renal system, and prepares the reader for more advanced discussions as they are introduced. And with its lifespan coverage and useful quick reference content, it's no wonder it's considered the premier resource for educating health professionals on the essentials of dialysis and the related patient care.
