Summary

More than any other subdivision of internal medicine successful nephrologic practice is dependent on other specialties. The kidneys are affected by many systemic diseases. There is increased incidence of cardiovascular and neoplastic disease in patients with renal failure. Expertise is needed in renal imaging, arterial intervention, and renal histopathologic examination. Reflecting all these elements, the authors have compiled a practical handbook to help physicians in practice and training to diagnose and manage patients with renal disease. The format of this book follows the stages of renal disease beginning with presenting symptoms and syndromes. It goes on to cover inherited renal diseases, glomerular and systemic diseases, acute and chronic renal failure, dialysis, and renal transplantation. This color handbook combines the advantages of an atlas with those of a short textbook, and is of value to physicians in nephrology and internal medicine, to pathologists, medical students, residents, renal nurses, and pharmacists.
