Book Abstract

Contemporary Perspectives in Hemodialysis delivers a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of hemodialysis modalities, technological innovations, and patient-centric care strategies. Structured across four key themes, the book bridges historical foundations with emerging paradigms in dialysis treatment. Ideal for nephrologists, dialysis nurses, biomedical engineers, and health policymakers, Contemporary Perspectives in Hemodialysis synthesizes traditional techniques with the latest advancements. By centering on patient experience and technological innovation, it frames a future of dialysis that emphasizes personalization, autonomy, and sustainable clinical improvement. Tracing hemodialysis from its inception in the 1940s to present-day practices, the text charts transitions from low- and high-flux bicarbonate dialysis to advanced options like hemodiafiltration (HDF), hemofiltration, and expanded HD. It reviews how newer flux-based therapies improve solute clearance and clinical outcomes.
