More than any other subdivision of internal medicine successful
nephrological practice is dependent on other specialities. The kidneys
are affected by many systemic diseases. There is increased incidence
of cardiovascular and neoplastic disease in patients with renal
failure. Expertise is needed in renal imaging, arterial intervention
and renal histopathological examination. Reflecting all these elements,
the authors have compiled a practical handbook to help physicians
in practice and training to diagnose and manage patients with renal
disease.
The format of this book follows the stages of renal disease beginning
with presenting symptoms and syndromes. It goes on to cover inherited
renal diseases, glomerular and systemic diseases, acute and chronic
renal failure, dialysis and renal transplantation.
The Handbook will be of value to physicians and trainees in nephrology
and internal medicine, and to medical students in their clinical
years.
