Nutrition, Metabolism and Kidney Support: A Critical Care Approach

Nutrition, Metabolism and Kidney Support: A Critical Care Approach is an invaluable, evidence-based resource designed for critical care physicians, nephrologists, dietitians, ICU nurses, and healthcare professionals who manage patients with acute or chronic kidney dysfunction. This comprehensive volume bridges the gap between clinical nutrition, metabolic regulation, and renal physiology, offering practical strategies to optimize outcomes in critically ill patients.

This book provides a deep dive into how kidney impairment affects nutrient metabolism, fluid balance, acid–base equilibrium, protein requirements, electrolyte management, and overall energy needs. It explains how targeted nutritional interventions—whether enteral or parenteral—play a pivotal role in preventing complications, supporting recovery, and improving survival in high-risk patients.

Covering the latest research, detailed treatment algorithms, and clinically applicable guidelines, this text empowers clinicians to make informed, patient-specific decisions in the ICU setting. With clearly written chapters, case-based insights, and expert recommendations, it serves as a must-have reference for modern critical care practice.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Critical Care Coverage – Includes nutrition assessment, metabolic alterations, renal pathophysiology, and ICU-specific management.
