Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health
problem, affecting nearly one in seven adults in the United States
alone. It is a disease that integrates chronic illness at several
levels, and the progressive condition is associated with high rates
of co-morbidity. This text provides a comprehensive, current
state-of-the art review of this field, serving as a valuable
resource for primary care providers and non-nephrology clinicians
that treat patients with CKD. It is comprised of 24 chapters
focused on specific aspects of the disease. The first 2 chapters
provide a bit of background on the disease, describing the anatomy
and physiology of the kidney as well as the definition and
epidemiology of the disease. The following 3 chapters discuss the
detection, prevention and progression of the disease. The next 6
chapters describe the relationship of the disease with other
conditions and most common co-morbidities such as diabetes and
hypertension. The chapters, that follow focus on the CKD associated
complications and the CKD within special populations such as the
elderly and minorities as well as dietary restrictions and drug
dosing. The book concludes with discussion on preparation for renal
replacement therapy and preemptive organ transplantation as an
alternative to dialysis in the management of the advanced CKD.
Written by experts in the field, Approach to Chronic Kidney Disease
is a comprehensive guide for clinicians, especially primary care
providers including residents and fellows in training, who take
care of chronic kidney disease patients. It is also a useful tool
for researchers dealing with this challenging field.
