Hemodialysis Vascular Access and Peritoneal Dialysis Access (Contributions to Nephrology)

All you need to know about vascular and peritoneal access techniques Recent developments have spurred a renewed interest in novel solutions to access the patient circulation, mainly concentrating on vascular access for renal replacement therapies and on peritoneal dialysis access. Starting with the epidemiology, the focus then shifts to the evolution of new techniques and monitoring procedures with regard to hemodialysis,
which are discussed and evaluated. Attention is also paid to the new
biomaterials available, concentrating on their improved biocompatibility
and surface characteristics. As developments in the field of peritoneal dialysis have taken a similar turn, new devices providing access to the peritoneal
cavity which have recently been made available are introduced next.
Last but not least, the management of complications and the continuous
maintenance and care of the access with regard to both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
are highlighted. This book provides a complete overview of the devices,
catheters and methods currently available to ensure successful vascular
and peritoneal access. Taking into account both the physiology of the extracorporeal circulation and the mechanisms of peritoneal dialysis
with regard to the most adequate access techniques, this is a unique
resource for clinicians, investigators and researchers in the field of
renal replacement therapy.
