Written by a team of 5 well-respected and world renowned renal pathologists, The Fundamentals of Renal Pathology will provide the general pathologist, pathology residents and fellows in training, the renal pathologist, and the nephrologist and nephrology resident, with a compact and up-to-date resource on the basics of renal pathology. Beginning with the basic concepts and methods in renal pathology, the text covers renal anatomy, including gross and miscroscopic appearance and pathogenic mechanisms in renal diseases. With an emphasis on clinical pathological correlation and differential diagnosis, the handbook will provide discussions on such topics as glomerular disease with nephritic and nephritic syndrome presentations, systemic diseases affecting the kidney, vascular diseases affecting the kidney, and much more. Abundantly illustrated with 107 photographs throughout and 84 in color.
