Living well with kidney failure - Juliet Auer

Sharing the first-hand experiences of others, the book covers the issues surrounding initial diagnosis and treatment, whether peritoneal or haemodialysis, the continuation of treatment, and the pros and cons of transplantation. There is extensive coverage of lifestyle choices, about work and leisure, relationships with partners and family, as well as the hospital kidney unit.

There is useful, practical advice on how to cope with crises and deal with problems, and the book shares other people's experiences. There are also appendices on financial aspects, medical and benefit help, prescriptions, mortgages and other matters.
