Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology(3 Vol Set) 3/e

Description

This is the most authoritative, well-written, and comprehensive
textbook of clinical nephrology, combining the clinical aspects of
renal disease important for daily clinical practice while giving
extensive information about the underlying basic science and current
evidence available.

This new edition highlights the numerous changes in clinical
management that have arisen as a result of recently concluded
clinical trials and there are now specific formal guidelines for
optimal treatment of patients. Each section of the textbook has been
critically and comprehensively edited under the auspices of one of
the leading experts in the field. The text for this third edition has
been ruthlessly edited, balanced, updated and pitched at the adult
nephrologist. The emphasis throughout is on marrying advances in
scientific research with clinical managment. Where possible treatment
algorithms are included to aid patient care.

By comparison with other texts, Oxford Textbook of Clinical
Nephrology has more than average coverage of pediatric issues. For
this edition there has been increased focus on age and renal disease,
nephrology as practiced in countries of different stages of socio-
economic development, evidence-based nephrology, clinical outcomes,
clinical audit and more and ethical issues.

Richly illustrated throughout in full color, this is truly a modern
and attractive edition with comprehensive coverage of everything that
has to do with clinical nephrology written by the world's experts in
their respective fields.
