The Renal Drug Handbook, 3rd Edition

Product Information

Readers can test their knowledge with a bank of multiple-choice questions and put it into practice by answering questions that patients frequently ask. Prescribing or administering a medication outside the manufacturers information may render the medicine being used off-label. It goes beyond the basic texts on renal care by discussing topical issues such as anaemia management, care of older people on dialysis, diabetes and renal failure, infection control and sexual dysfunction in renal disease. The section on hemodialysis features expanded chapters on physiologic principles, acute hemodialysis, urea kinetic modeling, and vascular access, while the section on peritoneal dialysis has been extensively reworked by a new editor and now includes two new chapters. One of the noteworthy aspects is that the authors have tried their best to translate the important information into a concise but effective format.
