Summary: comprehensive but turgid and not very user-friendly
Review: This handbook is certainly comprehensive, but often difficult to read, quite turgid, and densely written (too many words on each page!). Furthermore, the factual error regarding british dialysis practice in the early chapters does not inspire confidence (older patients ARE offered dialysis by nephrologists in the UK). The new Oxford Handbook of Dialysis is certainly much more user-friendly, and offers more for nursing and paramedical staff too, with dedicated chapters on nursing peritoneal and hemodialysis patients.

Summary: A must for any nephrologist in training
Review: This is about the best handbook there is in the field of dialysis. It somehow manages to marry the conciseness and practicality of a handbook that can be carried around in your whitecoat and at the sametime, contains enough information that is usually only found in huge reference texts. 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. The downside to this is that it appears less readable when you compare it to its main "competitor", the oxford handbook series, but there again, they serve very different needs. For the non-specialist who needs a three second reference, especially someone who works in Britain, I would get the oxford handbook. If you are a nephrologist/dialysis nurse in training, you will inevitably go back to the handbook of dialysis, sooner or later.

Rating:
