Synopsis

Renal care moves fast—and when you’re managing dialysis, electrolytes, access complications, or a transplant patient, you need answers you can reach immediately.

The Nephrology and Dialysis Nurse Pocket Guide is a practical, point-of-need reference designed for nurses and qualified clinicians caring for patients across chronic kidney disease, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, CRRT, and renal transplantation.

Instead of forcing you to search through dense textbook chapters, this guide organizes essential renal nursing information into consistent, easy-to-scan entries built around what you need to recognize, do, monitor, document, and escalate.

Inside, you’ll be able to:

  • Navigate CKD and AKI with greater confidence, including KDIGO staging, renal assessment, laboratory interpretation, fluid balance, acid-base disorders, and electrolyte emergencies.
  • Handle hemodialysis from setup to shutdown, including machine preparation, ultrafiltration, vascular access, adequacy, anticoagulation, and intradialytic complications.
  • Strengthen your PD and CRRT practice with practical guidance on exchanges, peritonitis, catheter problems, circuit setup, troubleshooting, and continuous monitoring.
  • Recognize high-risk complications faster, including hyperkalemia, pulmonary edema, air embolism, hemolysis, access thrombosis, dialysis disequilibrium, and treatment-related emergencies.
  • Support renal transplant patients across the care continuum, from pre-op assessment and immediate monitoring to rejection, immunosuppression, infection prevention, and long-term follow-up.
  • Access bonus audio references by scanning the QR code at the back of the book, giving you an additional way to reinforce important concepts beyond the printed page.

The guide also includes quick-reference tables and content informed by KDIGO, KDOQI, ISPD, and nephrology nursing resources.

Keep this pocket guide within reach and make your next renal nursing decision faster, clearer, and more organized.
