Textbook of Nephrology (3^rd Ed.)

This third edition has been fully revised to bring clinicians fully up to date with the most recent advances in the field of nephrology.

Divided into eight sections, the book covers diagnosis and management of different kidney-related problems, including fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders, renal failure, hypertension, glomerular disease and stone disease. New to this edition, are several chapters dedicated to diabetes, a key element in nephrology. The final sections discuss dialysis and transplantation, and paediatric nephrology.

Written by recognised expert, Anil K Mandal, from University of Florida in Gainesville, this comprehensive new edition includes nearly 270 full colour images, diagrams and tables.
