Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology Volume 2
Authoritative, well-written, and comprehensive textbook of clinical nephrology, combining the clinical aspects of renal disease important for daily clinical practice while giving extensive information about the underlying basic science and current evidence available. This new edition highlights the numerous changes in clinical management that have arisen as a result of recently concluded clinical trials and there are now specific formal guidelines for optimal treatment of patients. Each section of the textbook has been critically and comprehensively edited under the auspices of one of the leading experts in the field. The emphasis throughout is on marrying advances in scientific research with clinical managment. Where possible treatment algorithms are included to aid patient care.

Inherited Disorders of the Kidney
A high proportion of adults with end-stage renal failure are suffering from an inherited disorder of the kidneys. This is the first book to present a practical approach to the investigation and management of people with inherited renal disorders. Taking an international perspective, it covers the dramatic clinical and scientific advances that have been made in the past decade.
Analgesic and NSAID-induced Kidney Disease
Analgesic nephropathy, first recognized in 1950, was for two decades the most common cause of both acute and chronic renal failure in Australia and parts of Europe. This comprehensive text traces the story of the disease from its early description to its ultimately successful prevention. The etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment are described by those who have played leading roles in elucidating the nature of the disease, and in persuading society to take effective measures to prevent its occurrence. The second section describes those renal disorders resulting from the use of newer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol - disorders which are rising in frequency and may prove more difficult to prevent. Finally, the book considers the urothelial cancers caused by phenacetin-containing headache powders, a late outcome of analgesic abuse. With contributions from a distinguished international group of authors, this is a unique book on a challenging problem. Throughout the text, theory and practice are integrated, and attention is drawn to the valuable lessons gained from the study of the analgesic nephropathies.
Complications of Long-term Dialysis
Dialysis treatment for the management of end-stage renal failure is now an accepted treatment for all patients regardless of age. Mortality and morbidity of patients on dialysis, however, remain unacceptably high and it is most unusual for such patients to survive into the third decade. The aim of the book is to focus on the problems that develop in the second stage of dialysis treatment and discuss how to prevent, minimize and manage these complications.
Polycystic Kidney Disease
Many inherited diseases and non-hereditary disorders have in common the development of renal cystic disease. The most common, autosonal dominant polycystic kidney disease, is responsible for 5-10% of end-stage renal failure treated by dialysis or transplantation. Since the publication six years ago of the last book on polycystic kidney disease, a number of genes causing the disease have been identified, mapped, or sequenced; new experimental models and the application of molecular biology techniques have provided new insights into the pathogenesis R polycystic kidney disease; novel clinical studies have provided valuable information for the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of the complications of this disease. This book provides an updated, state-of-the-art review of the genetics, pathophysiology, evaluation, and management of these diseases and will be of interest to both basic researchers and clinicians in nephrology.
Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes
Clinical nephrology is confronted with an emerging medical catastrophe of international proportions: endstage renal failure in patients with type 2 diabetes. From a number of recent studies it has become apparent that nephropathy in type 2 diabetes is a preventable condition, at least in principle. It is for this reason that it appeared timely to summarize the current state of knowledge concerning nephropathy in type 2 diabetes, giving an update on the predisposing factors on which interventions are of proven benefit and on the accepted standards of management of such patients. This concise monograph is addressed not only to nephrologists, but also to diabetologists and general practitioners. It is hoped that it will help to improve clinical outcomes in the future.
Erythropoietin
The aim of this monograph is to provide an account of the events that led to the transformation of a concept of red cell regulation into an effective treatment of many anemias. Each chapter is authored by investigators who were involved in this transformation and who are still at work on elucidating the origin, kinetics, action, and regulation of this growth hormone.
