Renal Fibrosis: Mechanisms and Therapies
This book systemically presents the latest research on renal fibrosis, covering all the major topics in the field, including the possible mechanisms, biomarkers, and strategies for prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Due to its high prevalence, CKD represents a huge global economic and social burden. Irrespective of the initial causes, CKD progresses to end stage kidney disease (ESKD) due to renal fibrosis, which is characterized by glomerulosclerosis, tubule atrophy and atresia, and the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the kidney. Unfortunately, an estimated 1%-2% of the adult population living with CKD will need renal replacement therapy at some...
Comprehensive Frontier of Kidney Disease (in 2 Volumes)
In a world where kidney injury poses an ever-growing threat to human health due to aging populations and changing lifestyles, understanding and combating renal diseases have never been more critical.This book delves into cutting-edge renal disease research, where rapid developments have illuminated new technologies for diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The book systematically and comprehensively addresses clinical issues related to kidney diseases, where readers can explore topics such as hypoxia-inducible factors and renal anemia, pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy, hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, PLA2R antibodies and membranous nephropathy, immune nephropathy treatments using biological agents, renal glucose and energy metabolism, the application of SGLT2 inhibitors, and mechanisms of renal fibrosis.Written by over thirty experts who are actively shaping the field of nephrology in China and the USA, this book offers profound insights to understanding renal diseases, making it an indispensable resource for researchers, clinicians, and readers seeking to grow their knowledge on the scientific issues of kidney disease.

Angiotensin Research Progress
Angiotensin is an oligopeptide in the blood that causes vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure, and release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. It is a hormone and a powerful dipsogen. It is derived from the precursor molecule angiotensinogen, a serum globulin produced in the liver. It plays an important role in the renin-angiotensin system. This book presents the latest research advances in the field.
Advances in Mechanisms of Renal Fibrosis
Scarring of the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments is a hallmark of progressive kidney disease. Renal fibrosis involves a complex interplay between kidney cells, leukocytes and fibroblasts in which transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays a key role. This eBook provides a comprehensive update on TGF-β signalling pathways and introduces a range of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in renal fibrosis both upstream and downstream of TGF-β. The wide variety of potential new targets described herein bodes well for the future development of effective therapies to tackle the major clinical problem of progressive renal fibrosis.
Nephrology Worldwide
This book presents contributions from leading international experts in the field of nephrology. Each chapter is independent and discusses nephrology in the author’s country, including the history of nephrology development, kidney disease epidemiology, clinical nephrology, dialysis practice in acute and chronic renal failure settings (hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, peritoneal dialysis), pediatric nephrology, and kidney transplantation. In addition, the book covers topics such as the job market for nephrologists, reimbursement, nephrology education, and the number of professionals in the private and public sectors. With 53 chapters and more than 300 authors from all continents offering a u...
