Revue de presse

"This book has a new and interesting approach: it describes not only the past, but also the present of dialysis and dialysis and dialysis-related renal replacement therapies. The book is of interest not only for healthcare providers, but also for dialysis equipment manufacturers as well as pharmaceutical companies. It can also be of interest to patients willing to understand how their treatment was developed to reach the current sophisticated technology."-- Journal of Vascular Access

"This book is pleasant to read while offering a comprehensive and in-depth view of how indispensable dialysis has become, as well as making especially young nephrologists aware of the newest developments in the prescription and monitoring of dialysis therapy." -- Clinical Kidney Journal

"This is a substantial work; one finds it appealing right from the cover, which looks antique and valuable. This book is pleasant to read while offering a comprehensive and in-depth view of how indispensable dialysis has become, as well as making especially young nephrologists aware of the newest developments in the prescription and monitoring of dialysis therapy."-- Clinical Kidney Journal

"In summary, the right time was chosen by three nephrologists to put the history, the present and the future of renal replacement into a well-prepared, competent textbook, enjoyable to read. About half of the contributions are authentic because the co-authors have been taught by or worked with the founding generations. The book is a must for any study of renal replacement, but in particular for those colleagues who work on developing future successful solutions for organ replacement." --Dr. med. Günter O. Seyffart, MD
