A complete guide to caring for your kidneys and maximizing your
health. Kidney disease occurs when your kidneys are damaged and no
longer function as well as they should. In the past, it was fatal,
but thanks to new treatments, including dialysis and
transplantation, people can live long and healthy lives. This book
provides everything you need to know to help you cope with your
kidney disease and maximize your health. Walter A. Hunt, a medical
researcher who had kidney disease and received a kidney transplant,
walks you through what science says about how you can take care of
your kidneys, including what foods to avoid and what treatment
options may be best for you. Also included are recommendations to
help you sleep and feel better along with overall health advice. In
this latest edition, Hunt adds new sections on emerging subjects,
including * coping skills for caregivers * kidney disease in
children * environmental causes of chronic kidney failure *
conservative care for those who wish to decline treatment * related
conditions like gout, depression, and sleep disturbances * diet
after transplantation * how best to work with your care team *
insurance issues * potential new treatments A useful guide for the
healthcare professionals who work with individuals with kidney
problems.
