Packed with evidence-based, practical information on all aspects of dialysis training and therapy, Handbook of Dialysis, 6th Edition, covers everything from preparation and procedures to surgery, problems, and side effects. Edited by Drs. John T. Daugirdas, Peter G. Blake, and Todd S. Ing, and authored by international nephrology experts, this easy-to-use handbook offers concise, up-to-date guidance for clinicians and dialysis providers. Each chapter addresses a different area of patient management, including diagnostic workups, patient safety, and basic and advanced patient monitoring issues in acute dialysis and hemodialysis cases. Features a quick-reference, outline format; numerous tables, diagrams, and charts; and a new four-color design for visual appeal and faster navigation Offers complete, concise coverage of peritoneal dialysis, acute dialysis, hemodiafiltration, home and intensive dialysis, blood-based therapies, the physiology of peritoneal dialysis, diabetes, hypertension, optimal management of anemia, infections, nutrition, mineral bone disorder, and much more Contains new coverage of incremental dialysis and technological methods of volume control and a new chapter on patient reported outcomes and experience measures in dialysis Includes new data on high convective volume therapy, new antibiotics to prevent various catheter infections, expanded coverage of hemoperfusion and CRRT, and updated references and readings throughout Provides more emphasis on high molecular weight uremic toxin removal and removal of protein-bound uremic toxins

This book describes the past, present and future of dialysis and dialysis-related renal replacement therapies so that the reader can acquire a firm grasp of the medical management of acute and chronic renal failure.By becoming thoroughly conversant with the past and present of dialysis, a health care professional will be in a much better position to provide the best standard of care to patients suffering from renal failure. As the book highlights the unsolved operational obstacles in the field of renal replacement therapies, future innovators may be inspired to develop novel solutions to tackle these problems. This remarkable work is a must-read not only for healthcare providers in the dialysis industry, but also for patients, dialysis equipment manufacturers as well as pharmaceutical companies.

"Ranging from original photographs to pictures from university archives, the insightful curation of images in this book further enhances the reading experience … An authoritative and comprehensive synthesis of both primary and secondary sources, Nobel and Lasker Laureates of Chinese Descent offers unparalleled insight into the most eminent twentieth-century physicians and scientists of Chinese descent. The book is of broad interest to anyone interested in the history of science and medicine, especially when there is a growing recognition of both the importance of diversity in STEM and the impact of Chinese research on the global scientific community."Current Biology MagazineAt the turn of the 20th century, the Boxer Uprising marked the culmination of a violent and tragic chapter in Chinese history. Out of the ashes of this calamity, scholarships funded by Boxer Indemnity and many others fostered some of the greatest minds in the Chinese modern era. This book celebrates notable luminary scholars of Chinese descent, with a special focus on 1 Wolf Prize, 4 Lasker, and 11 Nobel laureates spanning a wide range of disciplines in both literature and science. We visit the struggles of pioneers Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang as the first Chinese Nobel prize recipients for characterizing fundamental laws in elementary-particle physics. Their pioneering works have paved the way for many to follow. We chronicle the careers of more recent recipients, including Mo Yan and his celebration of peasant life in China through the lens of hallucinatory realism. We delve into the lives of these Laureates, witness the obstacles that they overcame, and testify to their lasting contributions to humankind. In recounting the intellectual struggles and triumphs of these pioneers of Chinese heritage, we hope to inspire the next generation of scholars in literature and science worldwide in the hope that they too might become laureates one day.
