商品簡介
Designed specifically for clinical use by non-specialists, this practical guide focuses on common symptoms and signs, laboratory abnormalities, and management in daily practice. Each entry begins with a diagnostic algorithm, accompanied by explanations of each step and references. Sections cover glomerular and vascular disease, urinary tract disease and tubulointerstitial nephropathy, structural and congenital abnormalities, conditions relating to hypertension, tubular disease, divalent ion metabolism, renal failure, and fluid/electrolyte/acid-base balance. General and family practitioners, pediatricians and students who are not specialists in pediatric nephrology will find the index of signs and symptoms particularly helpful. The focus on advances in molecular pathophysiology and molecular genetics will also make this useful for specialists. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
