”[A] concise, comprehensive, and well-written book about the power of diet in treating all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) … [author] Kang, using simple, jargon-free language, details the role played by healthy kidneys and what happens when kidney function diminishes (and why); explains which foods, fluids, and supplements discourage the progression of the disease (and which ones hasten it); and presents a wide selection of CKD-friendly diet programs (for heart health, dialysis, post-transplant, etc.) enabling any sufferer to find a relevant plan … [O]ffers 55 delicious-sounding recipes, a handy glossary, and an invaluable list of resources including books, organizations, and websites … a must-have for anyone with CKD.”
