It offers scientifically proven ways to slow progression of CKD, including a chapter on a Smart Diet for all CKD patients. This diet not only can slow CKD progression but can also help patients to live longer and better. It offers the best treatments for the medical problems that can come with a diagnosis of CKD. For most patients this book will alleviate concerns about having CKD and for some patients with advanced CKD it offers an approach that can delay the start of dialysis for many months or even years in some cases. It explains why low and very low protein diets, promoted by many kidney books for patients, is usually not beneficial and may even be harmful. It provides the latest recommendations for treatment of CKD that comes from international kidney doctor organizations. The book is organized in a way that provides information for all patients with CKD in the first part of the book and has information in later chapters for patients whose CKD has progressed. For those patients who want to get the \"meat\" of the book, the final chapter provides a summary of all the book's material. Some patients may want to start here and read the full chapters at their leisure. The book is referenced with current kidney disease publications. It explains situations where kidney disease is reversible and ways to prevent reversible declines in kidney function. It dispels many myths about CKD treatment that have no benefit and, in some cases, may be dangerous. For patients who are wondering about whether dialysis is in their future, the book offers several ways to predict if dialysis is very likely or very unlikely in a CKD patient's future. It lays out pros and cons of the various options for patients who are considering a kidney transplant or dialysis and explains why getting a kidney transplant before dialysis is ever started or choosing home peritoneal dialysis are the two best options for most CKD patients who require a kidney replacement therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51364492181727,"sku":"9798565004571","price":22.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/mQgytBLJJ59798565004571.webp?v=1789048395"},{"product_id":"how-to-live-a-longer-healthier-life-what-really-matters-paperback","title":"How to Live a Longer, Healthier Life: What Really Matters - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAging is a privilege, and far more of it is within your control than most people realize. In How to Live a Longer, Healthier Life, WHAT REALLY MATTERS. nephrologist and internal medicine physician Steven Rosansky, MD, draws on more than four decades of clinical experience to separate what genuinely extends healthy life from the noise of supplements, fad diets, and unproven anti-aging therapies that dominate today's wellness market.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is organized in three sections. The first covers the lifestyle interventions with the strongest evidence for extending lifespan and health span: exercise, the Mediterranean diet, blood pressure and cholesterol control, brain health, the reversal of type 2 diabetes, and cancer prevention. The second takes a system-by-system tour of the aging body - muscles and bones, skin, hormones, eyes and ears, the gut, kidneys, immune function, and lungs - explaining what changes are inevitable, which are preventable, and what the evidence actually shows about managing each one. The third section addresses mental health in aging, evaluates the experimental therapies and supplements being marketed as longevity breakthroughs, and looks at how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape medicine.\u003cbr\u003eWritten in plain language and grounded in current clinical evidence, the book respects the reader's intelligence and time. Dr. Rosansky's goal is to help readers ask better questions, make more informed decisions, and push back against treatments that are expensive, unproven, or unnecessarily risky - and ultimately to add not just years to life, but healthy, functional years to those years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365420466399,"sku":"9798996016204","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/uxhpmQd5x69798996016204.webp?v=1789062825"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/steven-rosansky.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
