Recenzje

From the reviews of the third edition:

"Textbook of Peritoneal Dialysis is perhaps the most in-depth publication on this dialysis technique. ... the ideal starting place for anyone wanting to revisit PD as a dialysis therapy, or for those already converted to its benefits to find information to support its wider use. ... This book is detailed, easy to read, relevant and topical. It should be available to every renal department. ... Nowhere else can you find such a broad and detailed description of the modality of PD in one volume." (Journal of Renal Nursing, Vol. 2 (1), January/February, 2010)
