This book offers a practical approach to guide nurses in the art
and science of renal care. It is holistic as well as technical
therapeutic and compassionate in its approach. Acute and chronic
renal failure renal osteodystrophy and other selected diseases are
comprehensively discussed. The nurse's role with regard to specific
treatments such as peritoneal dialysis haemodialysis plasma
exchange and haemoperfusion as well as organ transplantation
procedures are discussed in detail and a section relating
specifically to paediatric care is included. The final section of
the book is devoted to the use of complementary therapies and
alternative medicine in renal disease. 'The book lays the
foundation on which nurses can build their evidence-based practice
and knowledge skills and enhance patient care. The aim of this book
is to provide a practical holistic guide for nurses to the skills
and knowledge required by them to care for their patients. It
covers the renal patients experiences both physically and
psychologically incorporating the dialysis therapies of acute and
chronic failure on to renal transplantation. Nursing renal patients
within an acute hospital setting a chronic dialysis unit or a
satellite unit places many challenges on the nurse caring for them
today. I therefore hope that this book will provide the knowledge
needed by those working in the field of renal nursing and that it
will be used as a resource in renal units throughout the UK' Avril
