Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"The book is clear, detailed, and up to date, and appropriately describes the treatment choices dietitians make while serving patients with chronic kidney disease. This second edition broadens relevant content areas such as nocturnal home hemodialysis, acute kidney injury, HIV and AIDS, medical nutrition therapy reimbursement, and dietary supplements. I will definitely use this updated, evidence-based book."

Audience

In addition to experienced renal dietitians, such as the ones who contributed to this book, the audience is quite broad and includes new renal dietitians, clinical dietitians in long-term care, and dietetics faculty and students. The editors chair renal departments at the National Kidney Foundation or the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and capably reach these audiences.
