Leading international experts present state-of-the-art information on these patients' nutritional requirements and offer dietary recommendations, with menus and lists of supplements to enhance patient compliance. Numerous tables and figures enable readers to find essential information quickly. Six of this edition's chapters have new contributing authors. Coverage includes new information on nutritional management of lipid disorders and abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism. Chapters on nutritional requirements in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis have been completely updated. Summary: Not a general nutrition book. Rating: 5 This highly technical medical text provides an outstanding explanation of the nutritional needs of patients with renal disease. The chapter on calcium and phosphorus homeostasis is particularly well written. Because the writers assume the reader has a fundamental understanding of physiology and pathology of the kidney, this book is has limited usefulness for the casual reader. It is most valuable for medical professionals treating patients with renal disease or the medical student who hopes to get maximum benefit from a nephrology rotation.
