Clinician's Manual of Pediatric Nephrology

Description

This handbook provides the fundamental information required to make good clinical assessments and management decisions in children with renal disorders. It includes topics that range from general pediatric nephrology disorders encountered by primary care physicians to more complex renal disorders managed by pediatric nephrologists. Common pediatric renal conditions including glomerular and tubular disorders, hypertension, and urologic conditions are addressed. Current topics such as neonatal disorders, chronic kidney disease, and transplantation are also covered. In addition, illustrations, algorithms and tables are utilized to highlight teaching points.

Readership: General pediatric and pediatric nephrology trainees and primary care physicians.
