This book combines the reference material of a nephrology textbook with the everyday relevance of a clinical handbook. If a dose reduction is required in renal impairment, the dose is given either in milligrams with the appropriate frequency, or as a percentage of the normal dose.

It goes beyond the basic texts on renal care by discussing topical issues such as anaemia management, care of older people on dialysis, diabetes and renal failure, infection control and sexual dysfunction in renal disease. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Understanding Kidney Diseases includes over 60 real-life case studies and is illustrated with over 200 figures.
