A 12-Step Treatment Program to Help You Avoid Dialysis
A revolutionary program that can indefinitely postpone the need fordialysis
If you've been diagnosed with kidney failure, this book could save
your life. If you suffer from diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or
any of a host of conditions that put you at risk for kidney
disease, you owe it to yourself to read what is in this book. If
you are among the 60,000 North Americans who go on dialysis each
year, the information in this book could substantially improve your
quality of life.
In Coping with Kidney Disease, a leading expert tells you, in plain
English, what you need to know to:
* Understand kidney failure
* Recognize early warning signs of kidney failure
* Get a proper diagnosis
* Talk with your doctors about it
* Confidently evaluate treatment options
* Take charge of your treatment
* Delay dialysis or even avoid the need for it altogether
The centerpiece of Coping with Kidney Disease is Dr. Walser's
revolutionary 12-step program for avoiding dialysis. Based on
treatments he has pioneered with his own patients at the Johns
Hopkins University School of Medicine, the program calls for a
supplemented low-protein diet supported by treatments to control
blood pressure and correct high cholesterol. So effective has this
breakthrough strategy proven to be that in many patients it
actually worked to slow or arrest the progression of kidney failure
to the end stage.
Knowledge is power. Coping with Kidney Disease empowers you with
what you need to take charge of kidney disease.
