Dear Reader,
Your kidneys are extraordinary organs—in many ways the keepers of the human body’s delicate equilibrium. Every day, they work tirelessly to purify your body from toxins, allowing you to thrive. Yet, most of us know so very little about these extraordinary vessels nestled in our bodies—often only learning about them when they fail.
In The Body’s Keepers, renowned nephrologist Paul Kimmel, M.D., takes you on an eye-opening journey through the history of kidney failure, dialysis, and transplantation. With decades of experience and extensive research, Dr. Kimmel explains the evolution of treatments and technologies that have transformed patient care and highlights the challenges that remain. |
