Hypertension and Cardiovascular Aspects of Dialysis Treatment: Clinical Management of Volume Control

Synopsis of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Aspects of Dialysis Treatment: Clinical Management of Volume Control

The aim of this book is to provide a systematic survey of the established pathophysiological principles along which patients on dialysis should be treated. For several reasons, these were insufficiently applied in many centers, leading to excessive and at least partly preventable cardiovascular damage. Since the first edition, more reports have appeared supporting the importance of volume control and the concepts are more widely accepted. The book explores the challenges of evidence-based treatment strategies and the shift in focus toward various risk factors in clinical management.
