Kidney disease is a condition where the kidneys are damaged and no longer function properly. In the past, it was a fatal condition, but with the advent of new treatments such as dialysis and transplantation, people with kidney disease can lead long and healthy lives. This book provides comprehensive information on how to cope with kidney disease and maximize your health.

Walter A. Hunt, a medical researcher who experienced kidney disease and received a kidney transplant, shares his insights and knowledge in this book. He walks you through the latest scientific research on how to take care of your kidneys, including what foods to avoid and which treatment options may be best for you.

In addition to providing practical advice, the book also offers recommendations to help you sleep better, feel better overall, and improve your overall health. Hunt has also included new sections on emerging topics such as coping skills for caregivers, kidney disease in children, environmental causes of chronic kidney failure, conservative care for those who wish to decline treatment, related conditions like gout, depression, and sleep disturbances, diet after transplantation, how to work best with your care team, insurance issues, and potential new treatments.

This book is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals who work with individuals with kidney problems. It provides a comprehensive overview of the condition, as well as practical tips and strategies for managing it effectively. Whether you are a patient with kidney disease or a healthcare professional looking to improve your understanding of the condition, this book is an essential read.
