Textbook of Peritoneal Dialysis
In 1994, the expert knowledge of Ram Gokal and Karl D. Nolph, the two foremost figures in the field of
peritoneal dialysis, was combined to produce the first edition of the Textbook of Peritoneal Dialysis. The
work quickly became recognised as the `gold standard' for those working in the field. Since its conception,
however, our understanding of peritoneal dialysis related physiology, kinetics and clinical outcomes, as
well as the concepts of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has increased sufficiently to make an updated and
completely revised edition of the work necessary. An expansion of the editorial team by fellow-experts
Ramesh Khanna and Raymond Krediet enabled an even more comprehensive approach to be taken. This second
edition reasserts the book's uniqueness in its detailed discussion of the topic, making it required reading
for all those working within the field of peritoneal dialysis.

History of the Treatment of Renal Failure by Dialysis
This book tells the extraordinary story of how the function of the first- and so far almost the only- human
organ was replaced by a machine, and the "artificial kidney" entered medical and public folk-lore. A
practical articial kidney, or dialyser, came by advances in science followed by the acquisition of new
synthetic materials which made the application of these ideas possible. However it was the dedication and
persistence of a number of talented pioneers who pressed ahead against professional oppostion to achieve
success, first in the treatment of temporary, recoverable kidney failure, and then permanent renal shut-down
which made it a success.

The Courage to Fail: A Social View of Organ Transplants and Dialysis
Written by a sociologist and a biologist and science historian, this text considers the social aspects of
organ transplantation and chronic hemodialysis. Their research, begun in 1968, focused on the experience of
research physicians engaged in this work, the "gift- exchange" social dimensions of these practices, and the
impact of these technologies on society as a whole. This reprint of the 1978 edition includes a new
introduction by the authors. Review Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
