With new chapters on transplantation and dialysis in Acute Kidney Injury, and references to the most up-to-date clinical guidelines, this handbook continues to be the essential, compact resource for anyone managing patients with end stage renal failure.Readership: The book is aimed primarily at trainee nephrologists and renal nurses, but it will also prove invaluable to all health care workers involved with patients with end stage renal disease such as trained nephrologists, pharmacists, dieticians, intensivists, and medical students.

"My personal choice would be the Oxford Handbook, because of its more recent publication and inclusion of later evidence and practice guidelines and its UK health perspective" - Journal of Renal Nursing "This concise primer is designed as a bedside or office tool for busy practitioners who may want to quickly review certain topics or get immediate answers as well as an essential aid in the dialysis unit." - University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
