Nutrition in Kidney Disease

Nutrition in Kidney Disease is a book that truly fills a gap as both a desk reference and guide to practice. Dietitians, nurses, and physicians who wish to practice state-of-the-art clinical nutrition therapy for renal patients will benefit from it.Nutrition in Kidney Disease is organized into five sections with a variable number of chapters based on breadth and depth of information. Part I addresses kidney function in health and disease and it defines and forecasts healthcare trends and outcomes in kidney disease. A comprehensive review of the components of the nutrition assessment is also provided. In Parts II and III, in-depth information on the prevention of common disorders associated with chronic kidney disease, current treatment options based on the latest scientific evidence, and management of comorbidities such as protein–energy malnutrition/wasting, obesity, and bone disease are covered. Part IV presents the nutrition concerns of special needs populations such as through the life cycle—pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and the elderly, and nutrition management of disorders such as acute kidney injury, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrolithiasis. Part V addresses additional nutritional concerns in kidney disease such as complementary and alternative medicine, cultural issues affecting dietary adherence, and outcomes research.
