This text is founded on the practical experience of the authors, and the discussion of each topic is designed to meet the needs of the busy clinician. It clearly explains the principles underlying current treatment protocols and demonstrates the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care, particularly in the advanced field of major organ transplantation. A range of the most relevant issues is explored, from hemodialysis and renal replacement therapy to acid-base disturbances. Critical Care Renal Medicine will be a valuable reference for all those managing renal problems in the critical care environment.
