Summary:

Lerma (nephrology, U. of Illinois at Chicago) and Nissenson (medicine, U. of California, Los Angeles) assemble a group of specialists in nephrology, hypertension, and kidney transplantation from North America, Europe, Australia, and Brazil for 84 chapters that take a question and answer approach to explaining common nephrology disorders and their management to nephrologists and fellows, medical residents and interns, medical students, and primary care providers. They first relate the top 100 secrets in the field, then describe patient assessment, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, primary and secondary glomerular disorders, infection-associated glomerulonephritides, other renal parenchymal diseases, diseases in special populations like pregnant women and the elderly, treatment options, transplantation, hypertension, and acid-base and electrolyte disorders.
