Summary

Rheumatology and the Kidney Second Edition provides up-to-date information on disorders that affect the kidneys and joints in tandem. These disorders often affect several systems in the body and many have an immunological basis. The majority of chapters in this book focus on specific diseases and examine their aetiology, pathogenesis, immunological basis, and pathology. In addition, clinical features and current-approaches to both treatment and outcome are described. Overall these chapters provide a balanced view of current understanding of these conditions.
