Helen Noble – författare

“This informative book has been put together with the support and input of many clinical renal experts, who have been willing to share their knowledge and years of experience and I’m sure it will be an excellent resource for those caring for kidney patients for the first time – as well as for those with some years of experience!”

From the Foreword by Rosemary Macri, Chief Executive of the British Kidney Patient Association

Kidney Disease Management: A Practical Approach for the Non-Specialist Healthcare Practitioner has been written to help optimise the care of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) across the healthcare spectrum. It is aimed at a range of professionals, including nurses, junior doctors, general practitioners, pharmacists and dietitians. Specialists in training may also find it useful. It highlights the practical considerations necessary to care for people with kidney problems in situations where a specialist practitioner is not always required or immediately available.

This book explores policy context and CKD, overview of CKD and management, managing CKD in primary care, treatment modalities in CKD, psychosocial aspects of living with CKD, acute kidney injury in hospitalised patients, surgery and kidney injury, medication management in CKD, nutrition and CKD, and support and palliative care for people with CKD.

Palm Beach insider, Claire Patterson, knew the recipe for success. She had wrapped her life in the security of family, friends and a successful career. Hired as a consultant, Claire surprised everyone, leaving Palm Beach to spend the summer in rural Ohio.

Ben Donohue, Salinger, Ohios largest landowner, had recently returned to spend the growing season overseeing his farm. Faced with the prejudices and mistrust of the townspeople he had once called friends, Ben focused on nurturing the land he loved. From the misty gray of spring with its smell of freshly tilled earth and rebirth, to the warm, lush ripening of the autumn harvests, it fed him in a way that a practical man couldnt describe. Until he ran into Claire.

Discovering a shared passion for cycling, Ben came to see through Claires eyes, the striking beauty of the place he had abandoned so many years ago. As they cycled through the changing vistas of rich farmland, they built a bridge of trust across the divide between their worlds; letting go of what they thought they wanted to find what really mattered.
