Chronic Renal Disease comprehensively investigates the physiology, pathophysiology, treatment, and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This translational reference takes an in-depth look at CKD while avoiding coverage of dialysis or transplantation, which are both well detailed in other textbooks and references. Chapters in the basic science sections are devoted to the scientific investigation of CKD in the context of patient vignettes. Chapters in the treatment and management sections are geared towards the most common problems faced by nephrologists in the management of CKD. Each chapter relates specific illnesses to the CKD framework instead of covering only the specific illness. Readers will learn how the management of CKD in a polycystic kidney disease patient differs from other CKD patients. Chapters indicate which unique complications the reader needs to be aware of when treating a specific patient population. Chronic Renal Disease also features a series of case studies and questions related to multiple chapters. Case studies and questions cover both clinical aspects and pathophysiology. Questions are open-ended, progressively more difficult, and repetitive across different patient clinical problems and different chapters, allowing for comparing and contrasting pathophysiologic and treatment approaches across patients with different problems related to CKD. The cases and questions are useful for medical student teaching, residency board review, and clinician teaching or conference preparation. Provides a useful resource to professors who need to put together lectures for residents and fellows, and to identify and summarize relevant literature as it relates to various research projects Includes case studies and questions, which can be used as a teaching tool for medical students and residentsIncludes coverage of: classification and measurement, epidemiology, pathophysiology, complications of CKD, fluid / electrolyte disorders in CKD, CKD and systemic illnesses, clinical considerations, therapeutic considerations, and special considerations INDICE: Chronic Renal Disease Section 1: Classification and Measurement Section 2: Epidemiology Section 3: Pathophysiology Section 4: Complications of CKD Section 5: Fluid / Electrolyte Disorders in CKD Section 6: CKD and Systemic Illnesses - Clinical Considerations Section 7: Therapeutic Considerations Section 8: Special Considerations
