Klappentext

Ideal for board preparation or as a concise, authoritative resource in clinical practice, Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, 8th Edition, remains the reference of choice for fellows, practicing nephrologists, and internists who treat patients with disorders affecting the kidney. Global leaders in nephrology offer a practical approach to this complex field, supported by underlying scientific facts and pathophysiology. You’ll find current information on the full spectrum of clinical procedures and conditions, including new and updated content throughout-all in a single, convenient volume.

• Covers everything from fluid and electrolyte disorders to hypertension, diabetes, dialysis, transplantation, and more, providing just the right amount of basic science and practical clinical guidance to help you make efficient and informed decisions
• Contains a new section on women and kidney health addressing sex-specific considerations in kidney disease diagnosis and management, and a new section on climate, environment, and the kidney examining the impact of environmental factors and climate change on renal health
• Provides outstanding visual guidance with more than 1,500 full-color illustrations, as well as more color-coded algorithms for diagnosis, treatment, and management: yellow boxes for general information, green boxes for therapeutic intervention, and blue boxes for necessary investigations
• Covers key topics such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists in CKD management; IgA nephropathy and new therapies; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; complement-mediated kidney diseases; cardiorenal syndrome; acute kidney injury prevention and management; kidney disease in pregnancy; dialysis access; and much more
• Includes quick-reference boxes with links to clinical guidelines in all relevant chapters, plus hundreds of self-assessment questions, videos, and downloadable images online
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish after the publication date
