30,000 people in the UK today are on treatment for chronic kidney failure. But up until now there hasn't been a complete reference manual that tells people everything they need to know about their condition. Kidney Failure Explained answers all the questions that people with a kidney condition want to ask, including those questions that they may be embarrassed about asking their GP. It also shows the importance of recognising the psychological issues involved, from initial reactions to being diagnosed with kidney failure, to the stresses faced by kidney patients and also, strategies for coping.
