Walter A Hunt knows all too well what it means to live with kidney disease. Here, he shares his experience and knowledge to help people with kidney disease overcome the challenges of diagnosis and treatment. When Hunt learned he had kidney disease, he was overwhelmed by the prospect of facing kidney failure. He had so many questions: Why are my kidneys failing? Is there anything I can do to save them? How will I know when my kidneys have failed? What will it feel like? Is there a cure for kidney failure? The good news, as Hunt found out, is that kidney failure is highly treatable. People with the disease can lead full and productive lives, and this book will help them do just that.
The paucity of consumer health information on kidney disease and treatment makes this essential for consumer health collections, despite its high reading level. Library Journal People with the disease can lead full and productive lives, and Hunt's readable and empathetic book will help them do just that.

Nursing Times
Walter A. Hunt holds a doctorate in neuropharmacology from West Virginia University. As a medical researcher for thirty years, he examined the biological basis of diseases, never considering that one day he would be dealing with a serious disease of his own. Having polycystic kidney disease (PKD), the fourth leading cause of kidney failure, he endured seven and a half years of dialysis and two dozen stays in the hospital before receiving a transplant. Now free of kidney problems, Dr. Hunt serves on the Board of Trustees of the PKD Foundation and travels the world.
