This book is written for the primary care clinician to help update
knowledge of pediatric nephrology. The current and future shortage
of pediatric nephrologists necessitates steady, rejuvenated
information on the Aristolean kidney for primary care clinicians,
as they care for the child and adolescent with renal and
genitourinary dilemmas and disorders. In view of this shortage and
the rapidly increasing knowledge in pediatric nephrology, as well
as understanding indications for referral to pediatric
nephrologists in the t twenty-first century, au courant assiduous
information aimed at primary care clinicians in these areas becomes
increasingly important. Chapters in this book cover nephrological
problems in different pediatric ages, including newborns. As noted
by some of the ancient scholars, the kidney does not exist in
isolation, but is involved in other aspects of the body. Thus, we
include chapters on the kidney in metabolic and rheumatoid
disorders. Behavioral aspects of chronic disease, including renal
disorders, are also considered because of the importance that renal
(and chronic) disease has on the child and adolescent.
The treatment of hypertension has become the most important
intervention in the management of all forms of chronic kidney
disease. Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypertension is a current,
concise, and practical guide to the identification, treatment and
management of hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease.
In depth chapters discuss many relevant clinical questions and the
future of treatment through medications and or novel new devices.
Written by expert authors, Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypertension
provides an up-to-date perspective on management and treatment and
how it may re-shape practice approaches tomorrow.
This second edition expands upon the previous volume with
additional emphasis on recent innovation in basic renal research
and has a more holistic approach on associated disorders such as
complications associated with peritoneal dialysis, ischemic acute
kidney injury, the sympathetic nervous system, and vascular
calcification. The book is divided into five parts: Part I provides
a number of in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models of kidney disease
and associated complications; Part II looks at recent advances in
imaging techniques; Part III covers recent developments in studying
metabolism in renal ischemia and reperfusion; Part IV addresses
study and measurement of vascular calcification; and Part V
explores analytical techniques that are both topical and of
widespread relevance to the study of experimental renal disease.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips
on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
cutting-edge, Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols, Second
Edition is a valuable collection of protocols useful to new and
experienced researchers who are interested in the field of
Nephrology.
This new edition is a comprehensive guide to recent advances in the
diagnosis and treatment of renal disorders in children. Beginning
with an introduction to anatomy and physiology, the following
chapters describe various diagnostic tools. The following sections
cover numerous renal disorders and their management. The sixth
edition has been fully revised and updated with expanded chapters
on fluids and electrolytes, cystic kidneys, tubular disorders,
acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and renal
transplantation. A new chapter on chronic peritoneal dialysis has
also been included. The book is highly illustrated with algorithms,
tables and diagrams to enhance learning. Key points Comprehensive
guide to recent advances in diagnosis and treatment of paediatric
renal disorders Fully revised, new edition with expanded chapters
and new topics Covers numerous renal disorders, diagnostic tools
and processes, and treatment Previous edition (9789350252437)

This practical guide provides the reader with answers to important
clinically relevant questions regarding the evaluation and
management of acute kidney injury (AKI). All aspects of critical
care nephrology are covered, from pathophysiology and diagnosis to
prevention and treatment. The questions considered relate to a wide
range of issues, such as: How do I diagnose AKI? How can I protect
the kidney in clinical practice? How do I manage patients with AKI?
When should I initiate and how do I perform renal replacement
therapy (RTT)? Which type of RTT is most appropriate for my
patient? Should I give specific nutrients? In addition to providing
practical guidelines and treatment algorithms, the book includes
calculators for continuous RRT and anticoagulant dosing. The
authors are internationally renowned experts in the fields of
Intensive Care Medicine and Nephrology and all contributions are
written in a clear and concise style and have been peer reviewed.
Acute Nephrology for the Critical Care Physician will serve as a
very useful source for intensivist internists, anesthesiologists
and nephrologists involved in the management and treatment of
critically ill patients at risk of or affected by AKI.
Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder found in a variety of
settings. Manifestations range from subtle abnormalities to
convulsions and death. New treatment options, such as Antidiuretic
Hormone (ADH) antagonists, have created the need for a resource
presenting the latest evidence and clinical approaches.
Hyponatremia: Evaluation and Treatment is a comprehensive review of
hyponatremia, with an emphasis on managing this disorder from
diagnosis to treatment. The incidence and occurrence of acute and
chronic hyponatremia in general terms are covered, as well as
disorders of the central nervous system, heart and liver with their
relation to hyponatremia. Common clinical scenarios are presented
along with both traditional and new methods of treatment. Authored
by experts on this disorder from around the world, experienced
members of the medical community and trainees alike will find
Hyponatremia as an indispensible guide to diagnosis, managing and
treating patients with hyponatremia.
