Complete and excellent book for practitioners
This book gives us , freshmen in the field of nephrology, a golden opportunity to see and feel in some way, the whole width of glomerular changes and a chance to learn to make a difference which is allways a main problem in medicine.
Our senior colleagues can test their knowledge and find a support for the everyday's difficult decisions.

Excellent book,but where is it...?

Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to glomerular disease (also Aldosteronism With Normal Blood Pressure; Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease; focal glomerulonephritis; Glomerulonephritis - pulmonary hemorrhage; Hyperaldosteronism With Hypokalemic Alkatosis; Hyperaldosteronism Without Hypertension), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on glomerular disease. Given patients' increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this sourcebook are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). Hard-copy users of this sourcebook can type cited Web addresses directly into their browsers to obtain access to the corresponding sites. In addition to extensive references accessible via the Internet, chapters include glossaries of technical or uncommon terms. ... Read more

Product Description
Abstract: Since the introduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the number of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has considerably increased. This is particularly true for elderly patients as the majority have a low GFR. Chronic kidney disease has a significant impact on a patient's outcome. We have reviewed important aspects of CKD in older patients, with emphasis on diagnosis and management, as well as explored decision-making regarding specialist-care referral and renal replacement therapy. ...

Brilliant
This book is far and away the clearest and most insightful book on kidney disease.The organization is exceptional, not so much the organization of chapters as the organization of thought that is clear throughout the book.Each disease is explained in a perfect context, making it clear how it's similar to but different from others (a great antidote to complains that renal diseases "all look the same and all get steroids anyway".Well, maybe only an antidote to the first claim...).It explains the tools available and ways to assess kidney disease at just the right level of depth--everything that a clinician would need to know, but not details better suited for pathology textbooks.It's about twice as long as it's successor (Renal Pathophysiology: The Essentials) but ten times as insightful.

The curious aspect of reading this book is that it's now 20 years old.In some ways, it's prophetic (such as the value of angiotensin blockade), but in other ways, even the pathophysiology discussion is outdated (no mention of E. coli O157:H7 in the section on hemolytic-uremic syndrome).The discussions of therapy are obsolete, but therapy isn't a major part of a book like this anyway.Even though the brilliance can't be beat, the book is outdated enough that it probably can't be used as a single source on kidney disease, so has to serve as a second book for an especially motivated student.An updated edition would get six stars.

Another great book
This book can be considered complimentary to more physiologic books about the acid-base/electrolite balance books about renal system. Author describes all pathologies with related test procedures and values. Provides pointers for what to look and what not to mix with. Overall very good introductory book in the subject of renal pathology.

Useful and comprehensive
This is a comprehensive and thorough guide in the land of acid base and electrolites. Great for the ones who wish to understand the renal functions. This book will take you all the way through Medicine rounds andexams. ... Read more

Product Description
After a quarter of a century of careful diagnostic study, it is now clear that diagnosis of renal lesions by light microscopy alone is insufficient and must be supplemented be electron and immunofluorescence microscopy. Packed with brilliantly sharp images, this atlas presents 110 complete cases of patients undergoing kidney biopsies, with followup over time. The monograph documents frequent diagnostic lesions and a range of variants with over 300 stunning electron micrographs correlated with histopathology and immunofluorescence. ... Read more

Product Description
The author has attempted to produce a highly illustrated book, aimed primarily at junior histopathologists, which, hopefully, will provide a clear and logical approach to the pathology of glomerular diseases and, at the same time, cover the requirements for Membership of the Royal College of Pathologists. The author trusts that trainees in other disciplines, particularly nephrology and general medicine, will also find this book useful, and that at least parts of it will be used by the more enthusiastic and enterprising undergraduates. As the main instrument used by the histopathologist is the light microscope, illustrations from it predominate; however, because immunofluorescence and electron microscopy are very important tools in the interpretation of glomerular diseases, photographs from these techniques are included when important and where appropriate. The text in this book is concise and didactic, the major emphasis being on good and relevant illustrations. Every chapter dealing with a pathological entity has sections devoted to light microscopy, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy and, with trainees in mind, differential diagnoses.In addition, because clinical correlations are considered very important in all aspects of pathology and particularly in glomerular diseases, there is also a paragraph entitled clinical features. ...
