The Handbook of Dialysis Fourth Edition has been completely revised and updated by well-respected nephrologists Dr. John Daugirdas, Dr. Todd Ing and Dr. Peter Blake Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 14, 2007 -- First published in 1988, The Handbook of Dialysis http://www.lww.com/product/?978-0-7817-5253-4 has become one of the most popular books used by doctors and nurses who care for patients with kidney disease. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, is publishing the Fourth Edition of this popular title. Drs. Daugirdas, Ing, and Blake have carefully and completely revised their Handbook, incorporating new evidence and recently published guidelines to reflect the ever-advancing field of kidney disease. The Handbook of Dialysis Fourth Edition includes completely new chapters on how to treat kidney disease before a patient needs dialysis, on how to set up daily or nocturnal dialysis, and the principles and practical points of using hemodiafiltration and hemofiltration instead of hemodialysis. "This is about the best handbook there is in the field of dialysis," according to Jonathan Yung, nephrologists at Hong Kong Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital. "Not only does it contain management guidelines in easy to read tables and point form, but also contains a lot more information regarding the basic physiology and scientific evidence if you care to read the appropriate sections... If you are a nephrologist/dialysis nurse in training, you will inevitably go back to the handbook of dialysis, sooner or later." For the new edition, a number of new authors, including nephrologists from Europe and Asia, have contributed to ensure that the Handbook is intuitive to understand by both US as well as non-US physicians, including detailing suggested drug dosages in patients and patient case examples to illustrate key points.
The Fourth Edition retains its practical handbook layout, which enables a doctor or nurse to still fit the Handbook in their jacket pocket during rounds. Also, the Handbook is stocked with internet website references to ensure the reader to always have a source for the latest advances.
