Kidney Failure
Explained
Andy Stein, Janet
Wild
|
Synopsis
30,000 people in the UK
today are on treatment for chronic kidney failure. But up until now there
hasn't been a complete reference manual that tells people everything they need
to know about their condition. Kidney Failure Explained answers all the
questions that people with a kidney condition want to ask, including those
questions that they may be embarrassed about asking their GP. It also shows the
importance of recognising the psychological issues involved, from initial
reactions to being diagnosed with kidney failure, to the stresses faced by
kidney patients and also, strategies for coping.
