Medical textbooks are mainly oriented by body systems, disease or diagnosis, yet practicing physicians are confronted with patients' complaints in the form of symptoms, physical signs or laboratory abnormalities, from which they are expected to reach a diagnosis and proceed with treatment.This book is meant as a pragmatic text for use at the patient's bedside. It classifies common clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory abnormalities and issues of management as they present themselves in daily practice. Special emphasis is given to new knowledge that has accumulated on the molecular pathophysiology and molecular genetics of various kidney diseases in order to deepen and strengthen the practical approach to common problems in pediatric nephrology.Aimed at an audience of general and family practitioners, pediatricians and trainees who are not exposed on a day-to-day basis to pediatric nephrology problems, it provides a logical, concise and cost-effective approach from which they can profit and acquire medical reasoning.
Revised in line with feedback from users of the first edition, this practical clinical resource boasts a worldwide array of contributors, including the most prominent pediatric nephrologists in the US. Excellently illustrated with photomicrographs and clinical diagrams supporting the chapters, Clinical Pediatric Nephrology features expanded case histories relating to the discussion and management of renal disease – thus ensuring that this is a highly useful reference tool for nephrologists and house officers in practice, as well as nephrology fellows in training.
Pediatric Nephrology is the premier comprehensive reference on congenital and acquired kidney diseases and their therapies in children. Section One opens with an overview of the anatomy, physiology, and biology of the pediatric kidney, critical to understanding disease. Section Two covers the evaluation, diagnosis, and therapy of specific kidney disorders. The book has an international focus, and is well knows for describing how research developments are applied in the clinical arena.
