August 14, 2009
La edición 2009 del clásico libro del Prof. Henrich viene corregida y aumentada. Si bien tiene casi el mismo número de páginas que la edición anterior, la letra es más pequeña, hay más información, de suyo, más actualizada. Conserva la claridad y amenidad que ya es conocida y que da cuenta de la excelencia editorial. Los gráficos y figuras están bien diseñados, ayudan a clarificar, aún más, los conceptos. El libro comienza explicando las caracteráisticas de la membrana de diálisis, continúa con los accesos vasculares, anticoagulación, el modelo cinético de la urea, adecuación, diálisis de alto flujo, diálisis continua, fármacos en diálisis,peritoneodiálisis, y después, casi la mitad del libro, son los problemas clínicos de un enfermo dializado, a saber, hipertensión, problemas nutricionales, ácido base, hemostasia,diálisis en el anciano, estudio de trasplante, medidas de calidad, etc. En síntesis, un libro que en 752 páginas reúne el conocimiento más sólido sobre diálisis, expuesto en forma amena y con una cuidada edición.
