OVERVIEW

Vital facts and figures for managing Chronic Kidney Disease – in just 96 pages!

Chronic kidney disease was once thought to be rare, but we now know that 10% of the population is affected. End stage renal failure is a devastating illness and a huge financial burden, so primary care professionals are now responsible for the detection and management of early kidney disease to prevent the development of more serious problems.

This is the ideal quick-reference manual for practice nurses, GPs and all health professionals diagnosing and dealing with CKD. Equipped with this clear and easy-to-read handbook, you can assess and treat patients with speed and confidence.

•   Using eGFR and other diagnostic methods
•   Making appropriate referrals to secondary care
•   Protocols for patient assessment
•   11 Patient information sections to help you explain complex topics to your patients
•   Over 50 ‘Vital Points’ highlighted throughout the text, for quick reference
