As a medical researcher, the author has the unique ability to present the key relevant information in lay patient language. This book is easy to read for most kidney patients. -- Nursing Times Kidney patients have been waiting a long time to have in their hands a readable, authentic accounting of what kidney disease is all about and how patients cope with it . . . a masterful job to give lucid descriptions of the kidney's work and the consequences of renal insufficiency that we nephrologists commonly obscure with scientific word jargon. --Jared Grantham, MD, PKD Foundation People with the disease can lead full and productive lives, and Hunt's readable and empathetic book will help them do just that. -- Book Bargains and Previews The paucity of consumer health information on kidney disease and treatment makes this essential for consumer health collections. -- Library Journal This book should be widely available as a reference to chronic kidney disease patients and their families and by all those involved in chronic kidney disease care. -- American Journal of Transplantation Walter Hunt has provided careful and understandable explanations, and he's offered his personal experience with and perspectives on how kidney failure has affected his life. I congratulate him for providing this excellent guide for people with kidney disease. --Ronald D. Perrone, MD, Tufts Medical Center
