Summary: Updated and concise
Review: Being a practising Nephrologist for many years I have always used the previous editions of the Handbook. This edition is an updated version and encompasses all the new additions presented simplistically. For example the new method of treating clotted peritoneal dialysis catheter was first mentioned here.

Summary: Where have you been?
Review: I am a 48 year old male who has been on hemodialysis for nearly 29 years. I pride myself in the fact that I have always been very much involved in my treatment. Over the years, I have made it a priority in my life to stay abreast of directions the dialysis industry has taken, some good, some not so good.When my docter suggested this book at first I was skeptical. I felt it was going to be another simplisticapproach to being a "good" patient as oppossed to being a knowledgable, proactive patient.

Although there is a lot of terminology which must learned. If the patient can persist,he/she WILL improve his/her standard of living. A must have for all in the field, Pt., RN, or MD.
