Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
It is very readable and I really enjoyed the style of writing and the patient scenarios to illustrate particular issues. --Lisa Burnapp, Consultant Nurse, Living Donor Renal Transplantation, Guy s and St Thomas s NHS Foundation Trust
As the husband of a transplant patient I found the chapter on transplant failure emotive, but factual and true in its assessment of the community s ability to support such an event. I would not change it. --Bob Dunn, National Kidney Federation
I wish I had had access to a similarly intelligent book when I first encountered kidney failure 20 years ago. --Deborah Duval, Editor, Kidney Life
