Opis

Few references have been published on the renal vascular system and its effect on the cardiovascular system as a whole. Clearly the kidney exerts a huge influence on the circulation and hypertension in particular, but there is a growing concentration on its function across many diseases. This book details the diagnosis, treatment and management of all renal vascular disease.

Recenzje

From the book reviews:

"This is a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic modalities, treatment, and gives brief overviews of research about future interventions and therapies in renal vascular disease. ... This is an excellent tool for nephrologists, both clinical and research oriented. It is also a great guide for internists, medical residents, and students. ... The colorful images and diagrams are well done. I would recommend this to both clinicians and investigators interested in renal vascular disease." (Josh Minix, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2014)

Blurb

This book describes the recent advances in the understanding of the development and management of renal vascular disease (RVD). Current perspectives regarding the epidemiology of atherosclerotic RVD, its clinical manifestations, and the interaction with injury pathways related to the kidney have evolved considerably, and the widespread introduction of non-invasive methods for identification of RVD using ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging has allowed more facile identification of these diseases than ever before.

Renal Vascular Disease provides an accessible, up-to-date summary of the pathophysiology and management of RVD. The clinical paradigms that are emerging in the field, both in regards to RVD and its role in chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular risk, and the cardiorenal syndromes are discussed in this comprehensive text, making it an essential resource for clinicians and investigators who tackle the challenges of RVD.
