Get a practical introduction to dialysis and an excellent review
for the certification exam! Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses and
Dialysis Personnel, 9th Edition uses a concise Q&A format to
cover the principles, diseases, and problems of dialysis treatment
for kidney failure. Comprehensive without being overwhelming, this
book assumes no prior knowledge of dialysis procedures. Two new
chapters and five updated chapters keep you current with the latest
in dialysis treatment and equipment. Dialysis expert Judy
Kallenbach provides clear, easy-to-read guidelines that will apply
to every member of the dialysis team, from technicians and nurses
to social workers and kidney patients. Comprehensive coverage

patients and to prepare for the certification exam, with topics
including a review of body fluids and electrolytes, infection
control, transplantation, and the important psychosocial aspects of
dialysis treatment. Easy-to-understand style introduces new terms
and concepts without assuming prior knowledge of dialysis.
Question-and-answer format makes learning easier and information
easier to find. Coverage of the entire lifespan helps in caring for
patients of different ages, including separate chapters on
pediatric hemodialysis and end-stage renal disease in the elderly.
Coverage of home dialysis therapies prepares technicians for the
use of home dialysis treatment as a possible cost-cutting measure.
More than 70 illustrations depict all aspects of dialysis treatment
and care. A multidisciplinary approach includes a chapter on the
different roles in the hemodialysis team, describing how dialysis
care is coordinated and what patients go through during their
treatment. Useful appendices offer quick reference to the sodium
and potassium content of various foods, the calculation of body
mass index, nephrology organizations and resources, a glossary, and
more. NEW Patient Education chapter and NEW Preceptor Basics
