About this book

The provision of optimal dialysis therapy to children requires a thorough understanding of the multi-disciplinary manner in which the pediatric patient is affected by renal insufficiency. Knowledge of the technical aspects of peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy must be complemented by attention to issues such as anemia, renal osteodystrophy, hypertension, growth, cognitive development, nutrition, nursing care and the psychosocial adaptation of the child and family to chronic disease.
The inaugural edition of Pediatric Dialysis provides a comprehensive review of these and other related topics with a singular emphasis on the unique aspects of their application to children. With authoritative, clinically relevant, well-referenced chapters written by a host of recognized international experts who emphasize key aspects of contemporary management, Pediatric Dialysis has been designed to serve as a primary resource to all clinicians involved in the care of the pediatric dialysis patient.

From the reviews:

"The first edition of Pediatric Dialysis by Warady et al., provides an expansive, exceptionally well-referenced review of the existing literature and current opinions in pediatric nephrology. … The 38 chapters of this text are uniformly well-referenced and well written. … The book is well edited … . The content is also well indexed, making the book easy to use … . Pediatric Dialysis is an exceptional reference that consolidated information on pediatric nephrology, and holds an important place in the pediatric nephrology literature." (Jennifer E. Slickers and Maria E. Ferris, Pediatric Nephrology, Vol. 20 (5), 2005)
