Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive guide to successful kidney transplantation in the highly regulated environment of today. It covers the history of kidney transplant to highlight innovations that have made kidney transplantation so successful as well as the new deceased donor kidney allocation strategy and postulates what types of changes might occur with this new policy. The book highlights special areas of nephrology concern in kidney transplantation, especially diseases likely to recur following transplant. It deals with many of the medications used in kidney transplantation including different commonly used antirejection protocols. It also provides a complete reference on the various operations involved in kidney transplantation. The text includes detailed pictures and surgical technique sections on cadaveric kidney transplantation and living kidney transplantation. It includes information on living kidney donation surgery with a chapter dedicated to the minimally invasive techniques that have been popularized in the last fifteen years. Some coverage on open living kidney donation is presented. Included in this section is discussions of how to handle certain operative challenges like severe atherosclerosis, venous sclerosis and various urinary system aberrancies. Comprehensive coverage of common surgical complications is presented including management of urinary strictures, urinary leaks, lymphoceles, vascular problems following transplant, and what steps should be taken when an early kidney transplant biopsy is necessary. It also covers in detail what is required for maintenance of health after kidney transplantation including the major risks for graft loss as well as what disease processes kidney transplant patients are particularly vulnerable to.

Contents: A History of Kidney Transplantation -- Anesthesia Management in Kidney Transplantation -- Donor Selection: Deceased Donor -- Epidemiology of End-Stage Renal Disease and Kidney Transplantation -- Ethical Issues in Organ Transplantation -- Immunology of Kidney Transplantation -- Infection in Kidney Transplanation -- Kidney Transplantation: Surgical Complications -- Live Donor Nephrectomy -- Living Donor Evaluation and Selection -- Medical Complications After Kidney Transplantation: Early -- Medical Complications After Kidney Transplantation: Late -- Necessary Components of a Living Donor Team -- Organ Preservation, Preparation, and Procurement Surgery in Kidney Transplantation -- Organ Procurement Organization and New Kidney Allocation -- Pathology of Kidney Transplantation -- Pediatric Transplantation -- Pregnancy After Kidney Transplantation -- Psychosocial and Personal Financial Aspects of Transplantation -- Quality Measurement of a Contemporary Kidney Transplant Program -- Radiology of Kidney Transplantation -- Recipient Kidney Transplantation Surgery -- Recipient Selection for Kidney Transplantation -- Renal Transplantation with Other Organs -- The Finance of Kidney Transplantation -- The Regulatory and Legal Environment of a Contemporary Kidney Transplant Program -- The Role of the Transplant Coordinator -- Transplant Immunosuppression.

Abstract: Put the world’s most well-known kidney reference to work in your practice with the 11th Edition of Brenner & Rector’s The Kidney. This two-volume masterwork provides expert, well-illustrated information on everything from basic science and pathophysiology to clinical best practices. Addressing current issues such as new therapies for cardiorenal syndrome, the increased importance of supportive or palliative care in advanced chronic kidney disease, increasing live kidney donation in transplants, and emerging discoveries in stem cell and kidney regeneration, this revised edition prepares you for any clinical challenge you may encounter.

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 patie…

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.

Contents: 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 offers a detailed review of the pathological and imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-Related Kidney Disease (IgG4-RKD). IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which is characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 level and infiltration of systemic organs by IgG4 positive plasma cells, is a newly recognized systemic disease. Diverse renal manifestations including specific tubulointerstitial nephritis, membranous nephropathy, and tumor-like urological diseases extending to the pelvis and urinary tract in IgG4-RD have been reported and are recently attracting attention as IgG4-RKD. In this book, leading researchers in the field present the latest insights into the broad spectrum of IgG4-RKD characteristics. In addition, they provide a detailed explanation of the pathology of IgG4-RKD including comparisons between the kidney and other affected organs, such as the lacrimal, salivary glands and pancreas in the histopathological section. IgG4-Related Kidney Disease will have a major impact on future immunological and nephrological studies and offers a useful resource not only for nephrologists but also general physicians and investigators in related fields.
