The Bible for Any Dialysis Patient5
"The Handbook of Dialysis" is a must have for anyone who is a patient on dialysis or who is the caretaker of someone on dialysis. This book is written with a Nephrologist or Nephrology nurse in mind, but patients and caretakers can learn a great deal as well. It explains the whole dialysis process including reuse, vascular accesses, anticoagulation, nutrition, infections, sleep disorder, etc. The dialysis process affects one's whole system.

The "Bible" of dialysis5
This book is a MUST for dialysis nurses. It is easy to read and is sectioned according to body systems. I carry it with me for quick reference and consider it to be the "bible" for nephrology nurses.

Exemplary companion for the Nephrology Resident/Fellow5
It is a very valuable pocket companion for the Nephrology Resident/Fellow in training. It clearly and concisely explains the basic principles of Dialysis and it is a must-own book for everybody in training. It is also an exemplary, quick reference guide for all practicing nephrologists, dialysis nurses, nephrology technicians, social workers and dieticians.
