    • Covers both adult and pediatric patients in detail, and offers guidance on special populations such as the geriatric patients and the chronically ill. 

    • Features increased content on home-based dialysis modalities, new alternatives for establishing vascular access for hemodialysis, new protocols for reducing the risk of infection and complications, and advancements in establishing and managing peritoneal dialysis. 

    • Includes extensive pediatric content such as prevention and treatment of bone disease, management of anemia, assessing quality of life in pediatric patients undergoing dialysis, and immunizations in children undergoing dialysis. 

    • Defines the quality imperatives, roles, and responsibilities of dialysis facility medical directors and attending nephrologists. 

    • Updates nephrologists on the latest alternative dialysis modalities. 

    • Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
