The Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, 4th Edition, serves as a practical handbook covering all aspects of dialysis and the management of patients with end-stage kidney disease. It provides clinicians with direct guidance on navigating renal failure and its associated complications.
Coverage outlines core renal replacement modalities, including haemodialysis techniques and peritoneal dialysis, alongside the medical, nursing, and psychosocial aspects of ongoing care. The text also addresses supportive clinical interventions such as plasma exchange, palliative care, and renal transplantation.
Organized with individual topics presented on one or two pages, this edition supports multidisciplinary healthcare teams in renal units and wards, including nephrologists, trainees, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and surgeons.
