Description and Table of Contents
Description
Although dialysis technology is constantly being improved, adequacy of technology cannot necessarily be equated with adequacy of clinical results. This volume explores a range of topics and issues in renal replacement therapy today, with a focus on how thinking has evolved in assessing dialysis adequacy. The contributions reflect current concerns about the outcome of medical therapy and patients' quality of life. Leading nephrologists and bioengineers provide an update on the various efforts now being made to optimize the overall effectiveness of dialysis from both the clinical and technological perspective. The reports include coverage of the latest progress and the problems encountered in the field of bioartificial organs. The book not only reflects on the state of blood purification technologies today, but also discusses where efforts could most beneficially be directed in the future.
