The first edition of Comorbidities in Chronic Kidney Disease is
focused on the main clinical syndromes associated with renal
failure. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease
(ESRD) are characterized by a wide spectrum of comorbidities,
potentially complicating patients clinical outcomes. In this
volume, both editor and authors have planned a complete review of
the main clinical syndromes associated with renal injury and
failure. The first chapter is dedicated to epidemiological aspects
of chronic kidney disease, and also introduces risk factors and
associated comorbidities. Arterial hypertension and cardiovascular
diseases are actually accountable as major risk factors for
developing renal disease, and the next chapter is mainly focused on
the latest trials in this field. The following chapter is dedicated
to pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia and
atherosclerosis in patients with declined renal function. The
subsequent chapter is exhaustively focused on the clinical features
of secondary hyperparathyroidism and the diseases complications on
kidneys, bone, vessels and heart, from early laboratory findings to
severe vascular and heart valvular calcifications. The section that
succeeds reflects on secondary anemia and consequent cardiorenal
anemia syndrome with particular attention on the latest treatment
schedules. Coronary artery disease is also discussed, especially
for those concerned with clinical features and laboratory diagnosis
in chronic kidney disease patients with impaired clearance of
coronary acute syndrome biomarkers. Cardiorenal syndrome and sudden
cardiac death are well-established clinical aspects in CKD
patients, and they are discussed both in terms of
pathophsysiological and clinical features. The book finally ends
with two sections on hepato-renal syndrome and contrast-induced
nephropathy (CIN). CIN represents daily challenges for all
nephrologists because due to the large amounts of instrumental
diagnostic tests and an increasing number of chronic kidney disease
patients involved. This volume could be appreciated both by
nephrologists and all clinicians involved in chronic patients
management due to schematic and practical editing and form.
