Summary

"This text provides a thorough introduction to dialysis, including a review of fluids and electrolytes, principles of dialysis, patient assessment, medications, nutritional management, transplantation, and the important psychosocial aspects of dialysis therapy. The book's hallmark question-and-answer format and clear explanations streamline learning and facilitate review. Chapters on pediatric hemodialysis, end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the elderly, infection control, and management of quality make this a comprehensive resource."--BOOK JACKET.
