Edited by Dr. Arthur Greenberg and members of the NKF Scientific Advisory Board, this state-of-the-art primer provides consistent depth of coverage, balanced discussion of controversy, and a uniform focus of information. Incorporates the latest NKF Kidney/Outcome Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) guidelines on chronic kidney disease staging and management. Features a current and practical review of the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of kidney disease, fluid and electrolyte disorders, hypertension, dialysis, and renal transplantation. Covers the whole field of nephrology in concise and well-illustrated, four-color chapters. Puts complex material and the latest developments into perspective for in-depth, yet succinct summaries in every area. Includes high-quality photographs, as well as outstanding graphs and tables for a varied approach to the subject matter.
