Dialisi e Trapianti

Large-format volume (22 x 28), 740 pages with numerous illustrations and tables. Hardback binding.

Over the past 20 years, Brenner and Rector’s The Kidney has been a central reference for authoritative, up-to-date information in nephrology. However, the steady expansion of knowledge on renal pathophysiology, dialysis and transplantation, together with rapid technological progress, created the need for more focused companion volumes.

This book was designed to provide a continuous flow of information on the treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease, offering both an overview of core management principles and a more detailed discussion of physiological foundations and clinical implementation across renal replacement therapies.

Leading scientists and clinicians in haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, nephrology intensive care and transplantation contributed comprehensive reviews spanning bench to bedside. Each author discusses fundamental concepts, critically appraises clinical trials and provides rational recommendations for clinical practice.

The content is organised into six major sections, from dialysis principles to long-term care, critical care renal replacement therapy, ethical issues and kidney transplantation. Each chapter is self-contained and includes an extensive review and a list of key references.

Original price was: €135,00.Current price is: €50,00.
