Controversies and trends have been a constant presence in nephrology. Likewise, since its inception and throughout its development, renal replacement therapy has been shrouded in an atmosphere of uncertainty, always with an eye on the future.

Renal Replacement Therapy: Controversies and Future Trends is a collection of independent chapters written by eminent authors, focused on topics relevant to modalities of renal replacement therapy. This book addresses controversies and future trends in peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and kidney transplantation. It covers issues from kidney patient education to new technologies in end stage renal disease management, including trends in arteriovenous access, convective therapies, the concept of incremental hemodialysis, fluid overload in hemodialysis and iron therapy. Regarding renal transplantation, it discusses a variety of subjects, highlighting xenotransplantation, organ bioengineering, immunosuppressive therapies, and living donor bioethics issues.

This book may appeal to nephrologists and physicians involved with renal replacement therapy and all those interested in the advances and challenges still facing medicine. It is, at the same time, a didactical textbook – providing valuable and updated medical information – and also represents the current thinking of great authors of our time on the subject. To a certain extent, it will also have historical value and may be considered a landmark of ideas in the field of nephrology.

Reviews

“As a specialist, I always want to know what is the state of the art. But I also want to know where the future lies, and to be aware of the controversies and potential solutions. I am therefore delighted to recommend this book that provides insight into the ongoing challenges and the future of renal replacement therapies.” – Richard J Johnson, MD. A Founding Editor of Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, Elsevier

“‘Renal Replacement Therapy – Controversies and Future Trends’ is a must read for all nephrologists and those in training. Outstanding authors take a unique look at current practice, opportunities to improve care, and the potential for the care for kidney patients. Not as much a textbook as a roadmap to the future!” – Allen R. Nissenson, MD, FACP. Emeritus Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Chief Medical Officer, DaVita Kidney Care

“Medicine is always looking for evidence derived from research and is often inspired by controversies. As well as being a very worthwhile read, this book acts as a delightful guide to the current practice of renal replacement therapy. It merits particular consideration for uniquely highlighting the underlying challenges and controversies in the field, in addition to the potential solutions created by innovative technologies for more carefully and individually tailored care for kidney patients. I wholeheartedly recommend this as required reading for both senior and, particularly, young nephrologists”. – Giuseppe Remuzzi, MD, FRCP.
