5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Any Dialysis Patient, January 20, 2004

By	N. D. Harmon "ndharmon" (Baltimore USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Handbook of Dialysis (Paperback)

"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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Bible" of dialysis, October 28, 2001

By	Carol Erickson (Caruthersville, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handbook of Dialysis (Paperback)

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.

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.
