Site Description:
Hypertension, Dialysis, and Clinical Nephrology
provides up-to-date, selected information on renal disorders and
their treatment (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis), and about hypertension,
dialysis, and clinical nephrology topics.
Hypertension, Dialysis, and Clinical Nephrology is a place for physicians
and nurses who treat patients with kidney or renal disease. Here
physicians and nurses can find answers to frequently asked hypertension,
dialysis, and nephrology questions (FAQ), pointers to recent review
articles, and summaries of hot new hypertension, dialysis, and nephrology
papers, abstracts, and meeting presentations. Also, information
about medical products, devices, services, and drugs pertaining
to hypertension, dialysis, and clinical nephrology are provided,
as is a list of links to relevant hypertension / dialysis / transplantation organizations, medical provider networks, and databases. Much of
the information presented is collected from a distinguished editorial
board composed of specialists in the field of kidney or renal disease.
