This book is not an “simple read” because it’s really meant to be read by medical professionals, but it’s chock full of extremely valuable in rank and explanations. When a doctor tells a CKD patient to cut back on sodium, potassium, protein, and so forth the explanation of why, what’s happening, what effect will the bestow unchecked diet have is often very vague. I am a care giver in that I do the cooking for a CKD patient. To know the function (or lack of function) of a failing kidney, and to know why these things become vital, is vital to me. So even as I skipped most of the chemistry, I got some very valuable in rank and was able to question more informed questions at the next nephrologist’s stay.

This highly technical medical text provides an outstanding explanation of the nutritional needs of patients with renal disease. The chapter on calcium and phosphorus homeostasis is particularly well written. Because the writers assume the reader has a fundamental understanding of physiology and pathology of the kidney, this book is has limited usefulness for the casual reader. It is most valuable for medical professionals treating patients with renal disease or the medical student who hopes to get maximum benefit from a nephrology rotation.
