This clinical casebook provides a concise, state-of-the-art review of pediatric bleeding disorders. Presented in a case-based format, each case presents a different variant of bleeding disorder, illustrates the etiology, pathology, genetics, diagnosis, and management of the disorder, and offers clinical pearls. Disorders covered include hemophilia A and B, rare factor deficiencies, von Willebrand disease, immune thrombocytopenia purpura, and platelet dysfunctions. Written by experts in the field, Pediatric Bleeding Disorders: A Clinical Casebook is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners treating patients with challenging coagulation issues.
Concise, readable, and well-illustrated, Handbook of Glomerulonephritis is a convenient, one-stop resource for physicians, residents and fellows, advanced practice professionals, and nurses who are involved with the care of patients with glomerular diseases.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs less often in children than adults and therefore remains underrecognized despite increasing in incidence. Due to the risk of mortality, short- and long-term morbidity, and increased healthcare costs associated with pediatric VTE, this entity merits better understanding and consideration. With this Research Topic, we aim to highlight some special considerations of pediatric VTE, namely risk factors and epidemiology, rare types of pediatric thrombosis and considerations unique to specific clinical patient subgroups, approaches to management and treatment, and prevention

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) - characterized by heavy glomerular protein loss (proteinuria), edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia - has diverse causes and frequently leads to chronic kidney disease. This E-book encompasses articles on a variety of topics in NS, including a historical perspective on understanding and treatment of NS, followed by state-of-the-art reviews of the molecular pathomechanisms, clinical outcomes, as well as current and emerging treatment strategies for NS. We hope that this comprehensive review will help to reduce the gaps between the research and the day-to-day care of patients with NS and inspire new research efforts towards updating and expanding the treatment armamentarium for the future.
