In this second edition we have updated all sections of the book, included the new European Best Practice guidelines, most recent K/DOQI and UK Renal Association standards, and most recent outcome and epidemiological data from across the world. We have added sections on haemodiafiltration, new intradialytic monitoring techniques, new peritoneal dialysis fluids, trials in haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, integrated care, care of dying patients, pain control in end-stage renal failure, newer drugs such as darbepoietin, new vitamin D analogues, and phosphate binders. We hope the book remains easy to use and read, which has always been one of our primary aims, and that it will continue to have a wide readership including nephrologists, renal nurses, intensivists, dieticians, pharmacists, medical students, and our own trainees and colleagues!
