Acute Renal Failure in Practice

Acute Renal Failure in Practice, written by practising renal physicians, explains the workings of the normal kidney, illustrates the aetiology and pathophysiology of acute renal disease, and provides practical treatment guidelines relevant to the day-to-day needs of the practising clinician. There is clear emphasis on underlying pathogenic mechanisms, leading to a full understanding of the rationale behind the recommended treatments. Each chapter, illustrated throughout by clear tables and coloured diagrams, provides a comprehensive guide to all the clinical problems that the clinician may encounter. An entire section is devoted to dealing with patients who develop acute renal failure in specific hospital settings, such as the labour ward or intensive care unit. The unique incorporation of easy-to-follow "practice points" shows, step by step, the precise treatment protocols required to succeed in caring for these complex patients.Paul Glynne is the author of 'Acute Renal Failure in Practice' with ISBN 9781860942167 and ISBN 1860942164.
