Kidney Failure Explained (Third Edition)

High-visibility version

by Dr Andy Stein and Janet Wild RGN

The new 3rd edition of the complete handbook on kidney failure. This fully updated third edition includes in-depth sections on peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and transplantation, as well as information on diet, blood pressure, sexual problems and much more.

Written by two experienced medical authors, this practical handbook covers every aspect of living with kidney disease - from diagnosis, drugs and treatment, to diet, relationships and sex.

“Kidney Failure Explained remains the most sought after reference for kidney patients. Since the first edition appeared in 1999 the National Kidney Federation has continued to recommend this book above all others. As the treatment for kidney disease advances, so this book has kept pace.”

Timothy F. Statham OBE, Chief Executive, National Kidney Federation

“Answers everything you always needed to know but were afraid to ask”

Austin Donohoe, Chairman of Kidney Alliance and Former Chairman of the NKF
