The Oxford Handbook of Dialysis is a comprehensive and practical
guide to all aspects of dialysis, the management of patients with
end stage kidney disease, and all its complications. The fourth
edition has been completely updated, and covers all aspects of
dialysis from haemodialysis techniques and haemodiafitration, to
the medical, nursing and psychosocial aspects of managing patients
with end stage kidney failure. Renal transplantation, plasma
exchange, palliative care, and drug dosing are discussed, along
with end of life care, and complications of chronic kdney disease.
This handbook is packed with practical guidance and management,
presented in a compact and easy to use format. The Oxford Handbook
of Dialysis is aimed at all health care professionals dealing with
dialysis patients from nephrologists to dieticians, as well as
pharmacists, nurses, and surgeons. There are specific chapters on
nursing patients on haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, and
detailed nutrition and drug prescribing chapters. The fourth
edition includes new sections on renal replacement therapies in
acute kidney injury, home dialysis, new peritoneal dialysis fluids,
new drugs including new epoietins and phosphate binders, updated
sections on nocturnal dialysis, dialysis monitoring, encapsulating
peritoneal sclerosis, and sleep disorders. Easy to read, practical,
and focussed, this handbook should have a home in every renal unit,
dialysis centre, renal ward, and be close to hand for every
nephrologist, renal trainee, or renal nurse.
