Useful book:
I gave it as a gift to someone whose husband was beginning dialysis. She reported back that it was very informative and useful.
Excellent book!:
My father is on a new renal diet. He just started going to dialysis three times a week. This book helped us cope with the sudden demands of a renal diet and really helped calm our fears. Cooking for a dialysis patient isn't nearly as complicated and daunting as we thought. Highly recommended!
absolute must have:
My husband began dialysis over a year ago and it's been a constant search to find useful information--finally found it. This book is an absolute essential tool for those who are serious about dealing with their problem. It is not to be confused with a cookbook but is a wealth of information on almost all foods. Not much missing. Worth it's weight in gold to us. As a side note--the staff at his center were unaware of it and are now looking in to purchasing a number of them!!!
Good nutritional guide -- not a cookbook:
This book is basically a list of foods with the nutritional content important to renal patients. As such it is a good guide when preparing a meal. It should be noted that this IS NOT a cookbook. It has no recipes in it.
