During the last decade facilities for treating patients with
end-stage renal failure have expanded in all Westernized countries.
Partly as a consequence, interest has been stimulated in many
multisystem dis- eases which may progress to chronic renal failure.
Some of these diseases such as diabetes mellitus are common but
still have con- troversial aspects to their investigation and
management. Others such as lupus nephritis are relatively rare but
respond well to recent advances in therapy. In addition to diabetes
mellitus and lupus nephritis this volume has chapters on multiple
myeloma and Henoch-Schonlein purpura. All the chapters have been
written by ackl10wiedged experts who have emphasized the practical
aspects of patient management. The infor- mation contained in this
volume should thus prove of interest not only to nephrologists but
to all practising clinicians. VII ABOUT THE EDITOR Professor Graeme

pital, Boston, USA. He is a member of many medical societies
includ- ing the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and
