    About this ebook

    There are over 300,000 dialysis patients in India and countingƒ but there is a gaping void in the literature available to dialysis patients, apart from medical pharma booklets on specific drugs. This book is the first of its kind in India and is based on the author's personal experience with DIAYSIS. It deals with issues such as side effects, blood and chemical imbalances, and other problems caused by the CKD. Most importantly, it looks at ways of living with dialysis with the correct medical and dietary regulations. This book has been written to inspire and guide other CKD patients and their families on how to manage issues raised by dialysis and to inform them about food choices and diet that can make their lives easier. The large number of dialysis patients in India does not always have sufficient information about food supplements or diet. This book sets the record straight on myth and misinformation while offering practical tips and a cookbook of recipes specially for those on DIALYSIS.

He has been a war correspondent; an investigative reporter for national newspapers such as the Indian Express and the Statesman; a correspondent for the National Enquirer, USA; and for the Toronto Star, Canada. He has scripted films on Indian culture and philosophy for the Ministry of External Affairs and for television. Since his retirement as a newspaper editor, he has been a full-time writer and has authored two books of poetry: Rusted Laughter and The Other Time. His works of fiction include a collection of short stories: The Music Man; and the notable novel: Storm In Kashmir. His non-fiction work features the well-received coffee-table edition, The Golden Temple ~ A Gift to Humanity.When Shankar was put on dialysis some time ago, he quickly discovered that there was a general lack of correct Information on side-effects; dietery awareness; as well as problem-management, connected chronic kidney disease and dialysis. Though there are thousands of people on dialysis in India, there is a woeful lacuna regarding publications which guide and inform patients. Doctors and other professionals connected with dialysis treatment and care are often too busy to spend extended time on the information process of individual patients. This book is a personal account of Shankar's own dialysis experience and is intended to help the many others who must live with the same condition.
