Renal Disease & ICU

Web References

• The All-net paediatric critical care textbook has a remarkable amount of information about continuous haemofiltration. We were impressed!

• The American Journal of Kidney Disease has a well-designed and useful site. Related are Advances in Renal Replacement Therapy and the Journal of Renal Nutrition

• The International Journal on Hemofiltration and Blood Purification Techniques (quite a mouthful, contracted to the silly name Hemofiltr@ion) is here. It has a good review on requirements for high-volume haemofiltration by Ronco and Bellomo.

• There's some recent, reasonable stuff from the 1998 San Diego Chronic Renal Replacement Therapy congress at invivo.net.

• Renalnet has a large nephrology index.

Others

• Louisiana State University Medical Centre have their "Virtual ICU" with a fairly substantial page on continuous renal replacement therapy in critical care. The site is still under development and (enthusiastically) favours Internet Explorer.

• There's a very basic page on dialysis at the Temple University Pathophysiology website

• Hypertension, Dialysis and Clinical Neprology have a website but you have to register in order to view their few free articles, and the rest is password-protected.

• A subject index for 'Dialysis & Transplantation'

• A note on reactive polymers and biomembranes is worth a glance.

• An article on daily haemodialysis versus conventional haemodialysis.

• The New England Journal of Medicine has a collection of abstracts of recent articles on kidney disease here
