"Renal Neoplasms: An Integrative Approach to Cytopathologic
Diagnosis" provides a comprehensive review of cytology and all the
morphologic correlates, including their respective limitations,
related to a broad spectrum of renal neoplasms with special
emphasis on cyto-histo correlation. The book also discusses related
usual radiologic appearances, gross features and possible targeted
therapies where appropriate. The volume features an integrated
approach that provides step-by-step guidance in the morphologic
evaluation of renal neoplasms. Furthermore, all chapters are
written by experts who deal with this type of specimen in their
daily practice and have insights into the pathology as well as the
clinical aspects of these tumors.
Illustrated with high quality color microphotographs and
formatted for ease of use in the lab, R"enal Neoplasms: An
Integrative Approach to Cytopathologic Diagnosis"is a helpful guide
to everyday pathology practice, especially for pathologists who
rarely encounter this type of specimen."
In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest
challenges confronting clinicians is keeping abreast with often
rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical practice. This
new edition of The Oxford Desk Reference in Nephrology is designed
to overcome this problem. The editors have produced a comprehensive
summary of nephrology which focuses on aspects of renal disease
that are important to the clinician and have brought together the
key recommendations found in current evidence-based guidelines and
presented them in a uniform and accessible format. It has been
designed and written so that locating information is both quick and
simple, and the layout of the chapters allows the reader to
identify and assimilate information rapidly. Fully updated, with
new chapters covering developments in nephrological practice, in
particular a section on Covid 19 and the kidneys, this Desk
Reference is an important addition to the armamentarium for
nephrology trainees, and consultants as well as trainees in general
medicine.
In 1986 the first edition of Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal
Dialysis, edited by R. Gokal, was published. In 1989 the third
edition of Peritoneal Dialysis, edited by K.D. Nolph, was
published. Both books were widely recognized for their
comprehensive discussion of this particular field. Rather than edit
new editions of each of these books separately, two of the most
prominent figures in this field have decided to combine their
knowledge and enthusiasm in this single book: The Textbook of
Peritoneal Dialysis. The book is unique in its detailed discussion
of a complete range of topics, including new advances in our
understanding of the physiology of peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal
dialysis kinetics, clinical results and a chapter dealing with the
concepts of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. These examples of the
dynamic nature of the field further illustrate the importance of
this textbook, and make it required reading for everybody working
within the field of peritoneal dialysis.
A host of new technologies, techniques, and medical regimens
have been introduced over the past 30 years for the diagnosis,
management, and prevention of urinary calculi. These range from
novel imaging procedures and medical expulsive therapy to
interventional treatment options. The contemporary urologist should
be familiar with and adept at implementing these new concepts and
techniques. "Clinical Management of Urolithiasis" will serve as a
practical guide to every clinically relevant aspect of urolithiasis
and its treatment, both surgical and medical. In addition to
providing up-to-date evidence-based recommendations regarding stone
management, the book reflects the real-life experience of
well-known international experts. Each chapter includes tables and
algorithms that allow the reader easily to check the requirements
for specific procedures and to translate them into clinical
practice. "
Optimized for medical necessity and reimbursement understanding,
this all-in-one resource focuses on the most important CPT (R) and
ICD-10-CM codes for urology and nephrology, plus medicine and
ancillary services codes chosen by experts who have taken into
consideration utilization, denial risk and complexity. CPT (R)
Coding Essentials optimizes both CPT (R) and ICD-10 code selection
with helpful CPT (R)-to-ICD crosswalks and detailed explanations of
anatomy, physiology, and documentation. Other than the AMA CPT (R)
Professional Edition codebook, this is the only book in the market
with verbatim CPT (R) Editorial Panel-approved and parenthetical
information specific to urology and nephrology. This is the ideal
daily companion featuring useful, definitive specialty-specific
coding information beyond what is normally provided in
procedures/services codebooks. Urology and nephrology coding and
billing knowledge available in a single volume, conveniently
superseding the need for multiple resources or years of experience.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS Official AMA coding guidelines pertinent to
the specialty and not available in any other specialty codebooks in

This book presents up-to-date information on the
clinical-pathophysiological features of acute renal injury and
discusses the KDIGO diagnostic criteria, as well as novel
experimental findings, including in the area of regenerative
medicine. It also highlights the clinical-pathophysiological
importance of AKI in clinical settings, including differential
diagnoses and management of AKI. In the past, the pathology
associated with sudden renal impairment was characterized as acute
renal failure (ARF). However, in the 2000s, the joint efforts of
specialists in fields including nephrology, intensive care
medicine, and cardiovascular medicine led to the introduction of a
novel concept known as acute kidney injury (AKI). As medical care
progressed, patients such as high-risk elderly subjects who were
not deemed to be candidates for invasive therapy came to be treated
in intensive care units (ICUs). As a result, kidney injury as a
subset of multiple organ failure was re-considered as AKI,
especially in intensive care medicine. AKI was then proposed as a
novel disease concept to emphasize the importance of early
diagnosis and early intervention to improve prognosis.Presenting
novel features, such as the definition of AKI, risk factors and
management; biomarkers, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated
lipocalin (NGAL) and L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP);
long-term outcomes of AKI; as well as renal regeneration using iPS
cell, manipulation of embryonic genes, and Xenotransplanted
embryonic kidney, this book is of interest to all physicians and
researchers in this field around the globe.
This book offers a comprehensive guide to peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Home dialysis, and more specifically PD, is growing in popularity
in the US. By conservative estimates, experts suggest that 45
percent of dialysis patients in the US can be on home dialysis.
However, the current penetration rate is only 10 percent. This is
changing with an expected major increase in the next 5 years. One
of the reasons for the low uptake is that many nephrologists lack
comfort and confidence in using PD as a dialysis modality. This
book addresses those concerns by covering all aspects of PD.
Chapters include its history, patient selection, implementation
options, comorbidities, quality of life concerns, and developing
approaches to treatment. This comprehensive resource fills the
unmet need for a practical, hands-on book that is both detailed and
can work as a quick reference. This is an ideal guide for academic
nephrologists, private practice nephrologists, NPs, PAs, nurses,
fellows, and residents.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the unique
challenges inherent in pediatric kidney transplantation. The text
reviews the problems faced during each stage of the kidney
transplantation process, including the occurrence of infections
during the pre-transplant stage, surgical challenges during the
actual transplantation, and medication issues during the
post-transplant stage. The book also features high-yield case
presentations of typical pediatric transplant scenarios, from the
pre-transplant management of a child with CAKUT to the evaluation
and treatment of antibody mediated rejection in children. Written
by experts in the field, Challenges in Pediatric Kidney
Transplantation: A Practical Guide is a valuable resource for
clinicians, practitioners, and trainees who manage or are
interested in this challenging group of patients.
