Experienced clinicians and trainees alike will find Pediatric Dialysis, Second Edition not only another valuable contribution to the literature but an indispensable guide to managing their pediatric patients on dialysis.
From the reviews of the second edition:
"It covers all major clinical aspects of pediatric renal replacement therapies. The accessible structure of the book enables readers to review the basics as well as the complexities in a thorough and organized fashion. ? this is a great resource for clinicians at all levels. ? All chapters start with key words, use a similar structure with easy-to-read paragraphs and numerous and well-integrated figures and tables, and are well referenced with up-to-date as well as key publications." (Stefan G. Kiessling, Doody's Review Service, August, 2012)
"The chapters are laid out in a logical fashion, starting with an interesting history of dialysis in children. This is interesting not only from a historical point of view, but in reviewing how we got to where we are and how the successes and mistakes can guide us forward. ? an even more useful resource for renal nurses. The subject matter is up-to-date, relevant and clearly presented. ? this book should be a part of all renal unit libraries, whether paediatric or adult." (Journal of Renal Nursing, Vol. 4 (4), July, 2012)
