Features: With the gradual improvement of living standards and quality of life, people's awareness of self-care has been continuously enhanced. They are increasingly concerned about their own and their family's health, gradually realizing that physical health is crucial for themselves, their families, and the nation. There is a strong desire to learn about health knowledge, and patients and their families especially want to understand the knowledge of the diseases they suffer from in order to cooperate with medical treatment. This is the motivation and source behind our writing of "Kidney Disease, Dialysis, and Kidney Transplantation." Led by specialists and graduate students from the Nephrology Department of Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University, we invited Deputy Director Peng Longkai from the Organ Transplant Center of Xiangya Second Hospital, as well as doctors Liu Hongtao, Xie Shubiao, and Peng Fenghua, to participate in the writing of "Kidney Disease, Dialysis, and Kidney Transplantation." This book adopts a Q&A format to serve as a "good teacher and helpful friend" for kidney disease patients and their families.
