Product Description
This sourcebook has been created for patients who have decided to make education and Internet-based research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it also tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to kidney failure, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on kidney failure. Following an introductory chapter, the sourcebook is organized into three parts. PART I: THE ESSENTIALS; Chapter 1. The Essentials on Kidney Failure: Guidelines; Chapter 2. Seeking Guidance; Chapter 3. Clinical Trials and Kidney Failure; PART II: ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND ADVANCED MATERIAL; Chapter 4. Studies on Kidney Failure; Chapter 5. Books on Kidney Failure; Chapter 6. Multimedia on Kidney Failure; Chapter 7. Periodicals and News on Kidney Failure; Chapter 8. Physician Guidelines and Databases; Chapter 9. Dissertations on Kidney Failure; PART III. APPENDICES; Appendix A. Researching Your Medications; Appendix B. Researching Alternative Medicine; Appendix C. Researching Nutrition; Appendix D. Finding Medical Libraries; Appendix E. NIH Consensus Statement on Morbidity and Mortality of Dialysis; Appendix F. Your Rights and Insurance; ONLINE GLOSSARIES; KIDNEY FAILURE GLOSSARY; INDEX. Related topics include: Acute kidney failure, Chronic kidney failure, Chronic renal insufficiency, End stage renal disease, End-stage renal disease, Functional renal failure of cirrhosis, Hemodynamic renal failure of cirrhosis, Hepatic nephropathy, Hepato-Renal Syndrome, Heyd's syndrome, Kidney failure, Kidney failure - acute, Kidney failure - chronic.
From the Publisher
This is a "must have" reference book for patients, parents, caregivers, and libraries with medical collections. This sourcebook is organized into three parts. Part I explores basic techniques to researching kidney failure (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to kidney failure. It also gives you sources of information that can help you find a doctor in your local area specializing in treating kidney failure. Collectively, the material presented in Part I is a complete primer on basic research topics for patients with kidney failure. Part II moves on to advanced research dedicated to kidney failure. Part II is intended for those willing to invest many hours of hard work and study. It is here that we direct you to the latest scientific and applied research on kidney failure. When possible, contact names, links via the Internet, and summaries are provided. In general, every attempt is made to recommend "free-to-use" options. Part III provides appendices of useful background reading for all patients with kidney failure or related disorders. The appendices are dedicated to more pragmatic issues faced by many patients with kidney failure. Accessing materials via medical libraries may be the only option for some readers, so a guide is provided for finding local medical libraries which are open to the public. Part III, therefore, focuses on advice that goes beyond the biological and scientific issues facing patients with kidney failure.
