I recommend this book to anyone with kidney disease or risk to get it. It is written in language that any person without medical knowledge can understand. I have the book because my father had kidney failure and my family and I feel frustrated because doctors do not give us enough information. This book was great. Now we understand what this disease and we know about caring for my father in a better way for him. Knowledge is power, and we take responsibility for our own health, and part of that responsibility is to be polite. This book is best if you need to understand what is kidney disease.

Despite having read all the information available on the Internet, I found the book is a useful summary, honest and objective symptoms of different types of kidney disease and treatment options available. While the treatment recommendation of this book is the low-protein diet, the author also lists the conditions to be followed and appropriate corrections for each of preserving the health and fitness. I highly recommend this book to anyone with chronic kidney disease – even if only a couple of tips from her, that might be saving tips that dialysis or a transplant!

The book has lots of good information but could not give a better result because I hated the plan as food. The book is worth the price of the information I left him, but even my doctor did not like the diet. Therefore, consult your doctor before taking this scheme, but reading the book.

This book may be more useful to the person who is a candidate for the limit of the kidneys in order to hear better care of themselves, what to avoid and what to look at this on the progression of the disease.

I have not read the book. But based on reviews that speak of proteins "poor" diet, I note that most nephrologists have been used for years for simple reasons that weakens patients without the help of the progression of renal failure. I am the wife and mother of kidney patients. I am currently looking for some books to help my stepdaughter and son-in with the planning of your diet. (A Weird Christmas gift.) Again, based on low-protein diet, I will not buy this book. Our family disease is polycystic kidney disease
