Course Outline

“The extensive provision of clinical protocols for management of common dialysis management problems will be particularly invaluable for all staff involved in the care of the patient with renal disease.” — Dr. Paul Snelling, President, Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology

Basic Clinical Dialysis presents comprehensive, concise information on the clinical care and management of chronic kidney disease through dialysis treatment. The authors have adopted a highly practical approach to presenting the basic principles of patient management, distilling important information into easy-to-read lists and tables. Management protocols are clearly highlighted throughout to provide step-by-step guidelines for patient care.

This handy, quick reference guide is ideal for medical students, resident medical officers, junior advanced trainees in nephrology, nurses and paramedical staff. The book was written by special practitioners in the field and edited by Australia’s leading nephrologists, from Westmead Hospital and the Sydney West Area Health Services, Australia.
