The Renal Drug Handbook (Electronic book text)

The third edition of The Renal Drug Handbook is a fantastic publication. Each of us needs to be wary of prescribing for renal patients and this handbook provides a highly practical, user-friendly method of ensuring that appropriate prescriptions are given to patients, whether they have normal renal function, renal impairment, transplants or are receiving renal replacement therapy. In addition, the authors give very helpful information on pharmacokinetics and common indications for the use of each drug described. This information is not available in any other single textbook. It is an invaluable resource for all healthcare professionals but particularly for those involved in the care of renal patients. A copy of the previous editions could be found chained to notes trolleys in all of the wards where renal patients are cared for in my hospital. This third edition is even more comprehensive.
