{"product_id":"nephrology-isbn-9781405189903","title":"Nephrology","description":"Nephrology is an important speciality; patients with acute or chronic kidney failure are encountered in every medical and surgical speciality, as well as in general practice. On most general medical rotations and on most surgical wards there are patients with renal problems. Renal medicine is taught on rotation during degree courses, and Foundation training programmes frequently include attachments in nephrology, urology, and renal transplantation. \u003ci\u003eNephrology: Clinical Cases Uncovered\u003c\/i\u003e contains clinical presentations with real-life patient cases and outcomes as seen on the wards and in exams, and leads students through a practical approach to diagnosis and management of kidney disease.  \u003cp\u003eFollowing a question-answer approach, including self-assessment material and a ‘refresher’ section on the basic science of this clinical area, \u003ci\u003eNephrology: Clinical Cases Uncovered\u003c\/i\u003e features investigations and the treatment options available for patients with renal disease, including those requiring renal replacement therapy with dialysis and transplantation. Difficult concepts are clarified, using simple diagrams to explain the link between pathology and clinical presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNephrology: Clinical Cases Uncovered\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for medical students, junior doctors on the Foundation Programme, GP trainees, and specialist nurses and nurse practitioners.

The cases are interesting to read and you always like to see if your own management plan corresponds to the expert's one. In summary this is a very useful book for all who work in renal medicine. The clear format makes it suitable for nurses as well as doctors, and explains the rationale behind a lot of the treatment decisions we make.
