This book offers a comprehensive guide to
peritoneal dialysis (PD). Home dialysis, and more specifically PD, is
growing in popularity in the US. By conservative estimates, experts
suggest that 45 percent of dialysis patients in the US can be on home
dialysis. However, the current penetration rate is only 10 percent. This
is changing with an expected major increase in the next 5 years. One of
the reasons for the low uptake is that many nephrologists lack comfort
and confidence in using PD as a dialysis modality.
This book
addresses those concerns by covering all aspects of PD. Chapters include
its history, patient selection, implementation options, comorbidities,
quality of life concerns, and developing approaches to treatment. This
comprehensive resource fills the unmet need for a practical, hands-on
book that is both detailed and can work as a quick reference.
This is an ideal guide for academic nephrologists, private practice nephrologists, NPs, PAs, nurses, fellows, and residents.
