All chapters of the book are edited by internationally recognized leaders in nephrology and present only the most clinically relevant, top-quality images, to help physicians recognize key pathologic features of kidney diseases, refine the differential diagnosis, and select the most appropriate therapy. Chapters cover disorders of water, electrolytes, and acid-base; acute renal failure; glomerulonephritis and vasculitis; tubulointerstitial disease; hypertension and the kidney; transplantation; dialysis; and the kidney in systemic diseases. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
