Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects approximately 10% of the world's population and is a cause of serious morbidity and mortality. Latest estimates suggest that more than 700 million people worldwide have CKD, with a greater burden in low- and middle-income countries. The Global Burden of Disease Consortium predicts that CKD will be among the top five diseases that cause death by 2040. Hemodialysis is the most preferred renal replacement treatment modality all over the world, and the number of end-stage renal disease patients requiring hemodialysis is increasing day by day. In parallel with this increase, updating information is important as a basic condition for providing quality hemodialysis services to patients. This comprehensive work was prepared jointly by teachers who are knowledgeable in their subjects. In addition to providing up-to-date and practical information about hemodialysis, the fact that it is comprehensive and includes necessary details according to its subjects adds a special value to the work. This book serves as a reference book for internal medicine and nephrology specialists who are hemodialysis practitioners, as well as specialist students.
