The Kidney in Heart Failure
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular events and death. The coexistence of CKD and heart failure is increasing in prevalence worldwide and requires a unique and subtle approach to patient management. The Kidney in Heart Failure focuses on the changes that occur in kidney physiology as a function of a failing heart. This comprehensive resource covers epidemiology, pathophysiology, management of kidney disorders and advances in nephropathy management. In addition, the latest therapies, common heart failure dilemmas and kidney disease markers are included. Each chapter is co-authored by a Nephrologist and Cardiologist, offering a unified perspective to these chronic conditions. This indispensible volume provides the reader with the depth-of-knowledge needed for assessing and treating the cardio renal patient.
Seldin and Giebisch's The Kidney
A classic nephrology reference for over 25years, Seldin and Giebisch's The Kidney, is the acknowledged authority on renal physiology and pathophysiology. In this 5th edition, such new and powerful disciplines as genetics and cell biology have been deployed to deepen and widen further the explanatory framework. Not only have previous chapters been extensively updated, but new chapters have been added to incorporate additional disciplines. Individual chapters, for example, now provide detailed treatment of the significance of cilia; the role of stem cells is now given special consideration. Finally, there has been a significant expansion of the section of pathophysiology, incorporating the new...
Lithium and the Cell
This up-to-date compilation addresses the scientific problems of determining a mode of action of lithium and provides a cross-disciplinary perspective. In addition to psychiatrists interested in the therapeutic uses of lithium, it will also be of interest to biochemists using lithium as an inhibitor of phosphoinositide signaling, immunologists studying lymphocytes, and dermatologists studying viral replication in the skin.

Urolithiasis
This volume comprises the proceedings of the sixth in a series of International Symposia devoted to basic and clinical aspects of urolithiasis. Previous symposia have been held at intervals of four years in Leeds, Madrid, Davos, Williamsburg, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The sixth symposium was held in Vancouver, British Columbia and was attended by over 250 participants from 26 countries around the world. As may be seen from the contents of this volume, the meeting covered many aspects of urolithiasis including the underlying physiology, crystal formation and the effects of inhibitors and promoters on crystallization, endocrinology and abnormalities of urinary composition, analyses, geograph...
A Closer Look at Antinutrients in Food
The evidence is clear, a whole foods diet nourishes, protects, and satisfies the human body. It provides intact nutrients, fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals essential for optimal health. But there’s more to this optimal eating lifestyle than meets the eye. A Closer Look at Antinutrients in Food lets the reader discover how whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and vegetables are also capable of wreaking havoc in the human body. Discover what antinutrients are, and how they function to potentially cause damage, nutritional imbalances, and deficiencies among other adverse health effects in the body of animals and humans. Whether you are a parent, student, healthcare provider, or into personal health, everyone should learn how to best deal with whole nutritious foods through easily applied kitchen rituals and home processing methods that minimizes antinutrients present in food to safely consume them in the diet daily. Reap the benefits of optimizing nutrient absorption and palatability through these traditional food preparation practices and learn how to select optimal whole food products to bring out the best in whole foods nature has to offer to us.

Diuretics: Basic, Pharmacological, and Clinical Aspects
The need for adequate means by which to improve urine output is very old. Even in the "Scuola Salernitana", the oldest medieval medical school in Western Europe, about 1000 years ago it was taught how to improve urine output. The list of known "diuretica" included herbs, plants, roots, vegetables, in particular asparagus, fennel and carrot. The first diuretic drugs, however, were mercurial compounds. Thus, calomel, mercurous chloride, was initially used as a diuretic in the sixteenth century by Paracelsus, being one of the ingredients of the so-called "Guy's Hospital pill". But calomel had a cathartic effect so that it was replaced by organic mercurial compounds. These diuretics were clearly...
Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology Volume 1
Authoritative, well-written, and comprehensive textbook of clinical nephrology, combining the clinical aspects of renal disease important for daily clinical practice while giving extensive information about the underlying basic science and current evidence available. This new edition highlights the numerous changes in clinical management that have arisen as a result of recently concluded clinical trials and there are now specific formal guidelines for optimal treatment of patients. Each section of the textbook has been critically and comprehensively edited under the auspices of one of the leading experts in the field. The emphasis throughout is on marrying advances in scientific research with clinical managment. Where possible treatment algorithms are included to aid patient care.
