7% of the population suffers from Chronic Kidney Disease. Nephrologists, dialysis centres, renal dieticians and other support facilities are not sufficient. The book creates motivation by educating and informing people about the disease and how documentation and plays a major role in helping stop kidney disease. There are innumerable patients who become lackadaisical and forgetful, and do not take the disease seriously, or become disheartened. The simple guideance for documentation, along with the suggestions provided will reassure a lot of people that they are not alone, and it will also encourage patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow good healthcare practices. The book stresses on the importance of self-awareness and urges patients to listen to their body. Medicines are effective in the treatment of various diseases, and their effectiveness is heightened if the patients are in tune with their bodies, and take care of their mental and physical health. Patients should closely monitor their food and water intake, amount of physical activity, and mental state and take corrective or preventive action wherever necessary. This book is rare in the sense that it is a patient’s perspective on CKD, not a doctor’s. The contents of this book will resonate with a lot of patients, and they will be able to relate to the experiences mentioned. This book will encourage more patients to start taking positive actions for self care thereby improving their condition.
