This manual provides practical and accessible information on all aspects
of general nephrology, dialysis, and transplantation. It outlines
current therapies in straightforward language to help readers understand
the treatment rationale, and does not assume extensive knowledge of
anatomy, biochemistry, or pathophysiology. Consisting of 33 chapters
written by 31 experts from four continents, this volume covers all the
practical tips in the emergency and long-term management of patients
with electrolyte disturbance, acid-base disturbance, acute renal
failure, common glomerular diseases, hypertension, pregnancy-related
renal disorders, chronic renal failure, and renal replacement therapy.
It is thus an essential source of quick reference for nephrologists,
internists, renal fellows, and renal nursing specialists, and is also
suitable for graduate students and research scientists in the field of
kidney diseases.
