Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers the main topics of adult nephrology and includes a chapter on transplantation and congenital abnormalities. It aims to be practical and useful and clinical management is emphasized throughout. The level is such that the content could be assimilated by final year medical students, but it is primarily aimed at those preparing for the MRCP or are registrars in-training. Throughout the text, there has been a great use of tables, algorithms and line diagrams so that a maximum of information can be conveyed in a very concise format. The latest understanding of anatomy and its relationship to function, transport mechanisms, immunological process and normal regulation of kidney function have been incorporated.
