RENAL NURSING

Now in its Sixth Edition, Renal Nursing continues to be the essential evidence-based guide to the care of people with kidney disease, updated to reflect the latest changes in practice, policy, care, and management.

This text is a valuable resource, covering all the essential topics for this specialty in one place so that readers do not have to dig through a multitude of articles and research in various places. The text is written by leading experts in their field, using clear and simple language that is easy to follow and supplemented with full-colour illustrations to aid understanding.

Readers of Renal Nursing will find:

* The latest research evidence and current NICE guidance on chronic kidney disease and renal replacement therapy
* Anatomy, physiology and investigations in kidney care, as well as chapters on emotional wellbeing and patient/carer involvement
* Acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, advanced kidney care, haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and transplantation
* Non-dialytic options and the role of palliative care, children and young people in kidney care, and renal nutrition

Offering thorough coverage of all major aspects of kidney care, Renal Nursing is an ideal reference text for nurses undertaking post-registration renal courses, student nurses undertaking a placement in a kidney ward, specialist renal dietitians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professions.
