a start, but with some big mistakes by ana (Canada)  2 Stars
January 28, 2004
I got this book along with many others in order to learn more about my renal disease. I read this one first, and was impressed by the clarity of the explanations. However, after reading more about renal diets I became aware that the nutritional information given in the book for specific foods was grossly incorrect. I DO NOT reccommend using this book as a guide to meal planning and preparation. It is far too basic, leaves out too many foods, and furthermore it gives dangerously incorrect content levels of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus for specific foods. Upon reading other renal diet books it is clear that the levels of some foods are 3 to 4 times higher than stated in this book. Please be careful with your health and double check. Try the online publication found here: publications.gc.ca. Search for H58-28-1999E Also, this book is very misleading, in that it refuses to allow for vegetarian or low meat-protein diets. Many studies have been done that show that vegetarian diets are FINE for those with renal disease. Again, double check for the sake of your health.

Not as good as I thought....  3 Stars
May 17, 2003
I thought I was getting a bigger more informative book for the price I paid for a used in new condition book. I paid 49.95 plus shipping. You could get this advice from a renal nutritionist. I would not have paid this price had I known what is in it .

Excellent guide for nutrition of kidney patients by jaihyuk@samsung.co.kr (Seoul, Korea) 5 Stars
February 12, 1999
I think the contents of this book are beneficial as like as medical treatment for kidney patients. To cope with kidney failure, this book will provide kidney patients a powerful weapon called nutrition. In addition to general diet guide, this book suggests some methods to cook for kidney patients, which are really interesting and various. Kidney patients can choose the best menus they like in the situation of kidney failure. Especially, if you are kidney patients under dialysis, I strongly recommend this book because nutrition is really important for you.
