- Abstract
- This unique book reviews the information available in the literature regarding the new syndrome, frailty, in patients with various renal conditions, such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, as well as dialysis and transplant patients. The topic is of importance in nephrology, specifically nephrogeriatrics, since frailty is a condition affecting many elderly patients and which is becoming increasingly common in medical practice. As such, there is a considerable need for information to assist professionals treating these patients. The book includes chapters on the frailty syndrome (definition, evaluation and treatment), the main geriatric syndromes (gait disorder, falls, incontinence, and delirium), the main renal syndromes (acute renal injury, chronic kidney disease) as well as dialysis and kidney transplant, and the relationship between geriatrics and renal syndromes. Frailty and Kidney Disease: A Practical Guide to Clinical Management is an essential resource for general practitioners, researchers, internal medicine physicians, geriatricians, and nephrologists.

- Abstract
- This textbook provides a practical and board-driven resource to describe and define the emerging field of cardiorenal medicine. Covering all aspects of the topic with depth and relevance, this groundbreaking reference brings together experts at the nexus between cardiovascular and renal medicine to provide an exception reference to educate in this critical area of modern medicine. It describes how the heart and kidneys are inextricably linked via hemodynamic, neural, hormonal and cellular signaling systems and, concentrating on disease-based coverage, goes on to review emerging concepts in epidemiology, pathogenesis, screening, diagnosis and the management of cardiorenal syndromes, all extensively illustrated and containing features to support scholarship in the field. Textbook of Cardiorenal Medicine provides consistent chapter organization, clear design and engaging text to define the diagnosis, treatment, intervention and surgical aspects of the full range of conditions encountered within this area of medicine. It is therefore an essential resource to all involved in the management of cardiorenal disease.

- Abstract
- This book presents the latest information on the clinical-pathological features of diabetic kidney disease. The data included is based on a cohort study of biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy patients and nephrosclerosis patients, who were observed over a long term, and on the long-term registry for diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease) in Japan. It provides a clinical-pathological axis in clinical settings, including differential pathological/clinical diagnoses of CKD in diabetic patients (e.g. the presence of “classic” diabetic nephropathy and/or nephrosclerosis and/or other primary kidney diseases). The abundant biopsy specimens with long-term medical records provide a detailed pathological and clinical description. The book also includes urine-sample data for developing and validating possible candidates for novel biomarkers for diabetic kidney disease. Many countries, including Japan, have ageing populations, in which nephrosclerosis contributes to the progression of kidney lesions in patients with diabetic kidney disease. As such, a comparison of a diabetic nephropathy cohort with nephrosclerosis is indispensable to offer better treatments. This comprehensive and informative book is an indispensible reference resource for all physicians and researchers in the field of nephrology and diabetes.

- Part I. Clinical Aspects -- Clinical epidemiology -- The Japanese registries of diabetic nephropathy/diabetic kidney disease -- Diabetic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease -- Possible biomarkers for diabetic kidney disease -- Blood pressure management in diabetic kidney disease -- Glycemic control and future perspectives for treatment -- Nutrition and diet therapy for DKD -- Renal structural-functional relationships at the early stage of diabetic nephropathy among types 1 and 2 diabetes - Similarity and difference -- Study at AMED collecting 600 biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy -- Part II. Pathological Aspects -- Evaluation of diabetic kidney lesions -- Nephrosclerosis and diabetic kidney disease -- Pathologic aspects I. Non diabetic-renal disease (NDRD) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) -- Experimental animal models of diabetic kidney disease.

- Abstract
- This book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the latest findings in a wide spectrum of clinically important aspects of chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on clinical diagnosis and therapeutics. CKD is a global health problem with a rising morbidity and mortality. The last decade has seen significant improvements in determining the incidence, prevalence, and complications of CKD, mainly thanks to the definitions of CKD developed by the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI). However, increased recognition of CKD has led to awareness of the limitations of its clinical diagnosis and treatment, which are essential to patients’ wellbeing. This book is of particular value not only to nephrologists, but also to general practitioners and residents with an interest in CKD. It offers a well-organized exposition of the current knowledge base. Compared with previously published books on kidney disease and CKD, it has a smaller number of more concise chapters. As a result, readers can easily obtain an overview of the most important topics in CKD. We hope that practitioners will gain as much from reading this practical guide to clinical management of CKD as we have from editing it. Junwei Yang is a professor at Nanjing Medical University and a chief physician at the Centre for Kidney Disease, Second Affiliated Hospital, Nanjing, China.

- Abstract
- This book provides a comprehensive overview of pathology of kidney tumors along with radiological features and up to date treatment strategies that enable the readers to avail this information in day to day pathology sign-out as well as interaction with clinical colleagues of different disciplines. It also serves as a referral resource for the current medical or surgical practice while preparing for examinations or maintenance of certification. Written by experts in the field, chapters contain an updated review of important pathologic parameters mandated for diagnosis and reporting with emphasis on updated information regarding new developments in this interesting field. Numerous high-resolution color images aptly illustrate the various pathologic entities and their features as outlined in the text section along with tables that highlight the differential diagnoses and salient ancillary features. Kidney Cancer serves as a quick reference for all categories of readers alike, and provides up-to-date information on renal tumor pathology, radiology and management that are required in daily practice.
