Paediatric Nephrology

The Oxford Specialist Handbook of Paediatric Nephrology helps the reader understand and manage all conditions affecting the kidney in childhood. This concise yet comprehensive guide covers everything from history taking and urinalysis, to electrolyte management, acute kidney injury, and
transplantation. It is a complete reference for the day-to-day, bedside, and out-patient management of all conditions dealt with by general pediatricians and specialist pediatric nephrologists. The handbook also offers advice to clinical professionals working with patients in shared care between
general hospitals and specialized centers.

Pediatric Nephrology benefits from a clear, user-friendly layout, with bullet points and text boxes to highlight key information and color plates illustrations and photographs. This makes the book a perfect reference for use on-the-go, and easy to navigate during an emergency. The primary focus of
the book is investigation and management, but in order to enable a better understanding of conditions such as fluid and electrolytes, it also discusses pathophysiology. Evidence-based recommendations are made where possible, however, the authors also provide recommendations informed by their own
personal experience and current best practice in areas where high-quality evidence is still lacking.

 

Pediatric Nephrology is useful for pediatric consultants and doctors at all levels of their training, including the general pediatrician and the specialist nephrologist. The book has a global appeal and presents information that is applicable worldwide.
