Fully revised and expanded for its second edition, the Oxford Handbook
of Nephrology and Hypertension provides clear, concise information and
practical guidance on the day-to-day management of patients with renal
disease. It is the essential resource for all those working with renal
patients, including specialist trainees in nephrology, foundation
doctors, renal nurses and general practitioners. A vital practical guide
for those on the wards, and a valuable resource for all those studying
for exams, this is the must-have handbook of renal medicine.
Based on the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology and companion to
the Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, this handbook provides vital clinical
knowledge on the full breadth of renal care. The chapters on AKI and CKD
have been significantly expanded to represent their enhanced primacy in
both primary and secondary care. The recent shift in understanding from
acute renal failure to AKI has led to fast-paced change, and this
handbook has been specifically revised to ensure the reader is
up-to-the-minute in this vital area of renal care. Renal transplantation
has also greatly increased in volume and complexity in recent years and
a full chapter has been given to this important area, which has been
thoroughly updated and greatly expanded.
Comprehensive, easy-to-use, and concise, with a strong focus on
practical advice, and detailed guidance on everything from common
conditions to complex clinical care, this handbook ensures that the
reader always has the information they need at their fingertips.
