Reseña del editor

The second edition of Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology will build on the strengths of the first edition to bring the reader the most up-to-date information on every clinical condition encountered in nephrology in one concise but comprehensive, clinically focussed volume.

Every chapter has been fully revised and updated, with new chapters on renal disease in the elderly, management of renal diseases in septic shock or the ICU setting, and urologic conditions of relevance to the nephrologist. There is much greater coverage of the surgical management of renal stone disease, the management of renal disease in the ICU, acute pancreatitis and Leptospirosis as causes of acute renal failure, renal, bladder and prostate malignancy, and much more.

Clinically focussed and highly illustrated in full colour throughout, Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology is an invaluable bedside resource for the trainee or practicing clinician in nephrology, internal medicine or critical care.
