Dori Schatell and Dr. John Agar recently published a new book on dealing with dialysis that is an excellent resource not only for patients and families facing renal replacement therapy, but also for professionals discussing optimal dialysis options. The book is to be released on March 1, 2012, but it is available on order now. I highly recommend this well written book for all renal patients:
