When my Dad was diagnosed with end stage kidney failure we wanted to seek information that his doctors weren’t offering. This book turned out to be an excellent source of information! We were able to read it and use our learnings to have more informed conversations with his care team team.

Great book with evidence based action steps. This book is a great information for everyone, not just someone with CKD.
