Features: In recent years, the concepts, principles, and technologies of renal replacement therapy have made tremendous advancements. To promptly reflect these significant developments, we have invited experts and scholars with extensive experience in the field of renal replacement therapy to extensively revise the edition. We hope that this book can continue to serve as a valuable guide and companion for urologists, nephrologists, and kidney transplant physicians in the new century, thereby playing an important reference role. This book is a specialized work on renal replacement therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease and uremia. It covers three major sections: hemopurification, kidney transplantation, and renal replacement therapy for special patients. The book systematically elaborates on the etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease and uremia, as well as the methods, fundamental principles, and clinical practices of dialysis and kidney transplantation. The second edition of this book includes additional information on HLA tissue typing techniques.
