This third edition has been fully revised to bring clinicians
fully up to date with the most recent advances in the field of
nephrology.
Divided into eight sections, the book covers diagnosis and
management of different kidney-related problems, including
fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders, renal failure,
hypertension, glomerular disease and stone disease. New
to this edition, are several chapters dedicated to diabetes,
a key element in nephrology. The final sections discuss
dialysis and transplantation, and paediatric nephrology.
Written by recognised expert, Anil K Mandal, from
University of Florida in Gainesville, this comprehensive new
edition includes nearly 270 full colour images, diagrams
and tables.
