Kidney disease is a growing problem in the Aboriginal communities of Central Australia.  Some say it is becoming an epidemic.  This is a collection of stories and experiences from Aboriginal people who know about kidney disease: patients, their families and communities, and health workers.  For Aboriginal renal patients and community members, this book will be a starting point for discussion.  For others it will be a revelation.  The full text of Jeannie Devitt and Anthony McMasters’ report into end-stage renal disease in Central Australian Aboriginal communities is published by IAD Press as Living on Medicine.
