Principles & Practice of Dialysis

OFERTA este valida EXCLUSIV in limita STOCULUI !

This book offers an evidence-based review of the practical challenges of caring for patients receiving dialysis. Divided in two sections, the text first covers technical and procedural considerations, such as choosing the appropriate membrane, vascular access, and choosing the most appropriate form of dialysis. The second section covers clinical problems in the use of dialysis, such as hypertension, infection, and other complications in patients with end-stage renal disease.

FEATURES:

* All chapters are well illustrated with tables, charts, equations, line art, and photos
* References guide the reader in locating additional information.
