E-grāmata: Pocket Companion to Brenner and Rector's The Kidney

Noting that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of patients being treated for chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure, Clarkson (medicine, U. College Cork, Ireland) and colleagues at Harvard Medical School, provide an accessible review of nephrology for primary care physicians, specialists, and medical students. As an entry point for in-depth reading of Brenner's foundational texts, this update of the 2005 edition covers clinical assessment; body fluid imbalances; the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and genetics of renal disease; and treatment of hypertension, and renal failure. The portable text features treatment algorithms and summary tables. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
