Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children

Presented in cooperation with the
American Society of Pediatric Nephrology

The care of children receiving chronic dialysis is a challenging, multidisciplinary enterprise. The Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children is a day-long course designed to provide a complete review of the major issues involved in the management of pediatric hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. Taught by a faculty of international experts in pediatric dialysis care, the Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children is the only course of its kind currently available. While the course is presented at the level of the beginning pediatric dialysis physician-in-training, it will be of value to pediatric and adult nephrology fellows, pediatric and adult nephrologists, pediatric and adult dialysis nurses, allied personnel and all others who care for children in dialysis facilities.
