DESCRIPTION:
Nutritional management is a standard part of management of all patients with end-stage renal disease. This text provides an in-depth review of metabolism and nutritional management in patients with renal disease.
FEATURES:
- Each chapter integrates basic and clinical sciences
- Extensive, up-to-date references
- Relevant content for everyday practice
