In addition, it walks patients through the process of treatment of kidney failure including dialysis and transplantation using the author’s experience to help them make decisions about their treatment. Finally, the book provides a glimpse into the future of treating kidney diseases to give hope to those with a longer-term risk for kidney disease.
