Book SynopsisThere has been a substantial increase in the number of patients with end-stage renal disease world-wide over the last few decades. In Australia, over 2400 patients with end-stage renal disease started renal replacement therapy in 2011 with nearly 11,000 patients currently receiving dialysis treatment at the end of 2011. According to Kidney Health Australia, the costs of treating end-stage kidney disease from 2009 to 2020 is estimated to be around $12 billion, highlighting the fact that kidney disease is a major financial burden to the community. Kidney transplantation confers a survival benefit in patients with end-stage renal disease but transplantation has become increasingly more complex over the last decade. With the greater understanding of transplant immunology along with the introduction of more potent induction and maintenance immuno-suppression, clinicians are now in a better position to more accurately stratify each transplant candidate''s immunological risk as well as the ability to safely transplant high-immunological risk transplant candidates. This book covers all major aspects of kidney transplantation and was put together with the hope of providing the readers with in-depth and current knowledge of important aspects of kidney transplantation, including donor and recipient assessments, innovative surgical techniques and understanding of surgical complications, the evolution of immunological techniques to identify anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies, the management and preparation of high-risk transplant candidates for transplantation as well as the management of longer-term complications after kidney transplantation.

Book SynopsisExplores Chronic Kidney Disease and the search for renal care lived out in the context of poverty, inequality and uneven welfare arrangements. Based on ethnographic research conducted in the state of Jalisco, this book documents the routes uninsured Mexican patients take in order to access resource intensive biotechnical treatments.Trade Review“Kierans offers an extraordinary portrait of the challenges underlying efforts to survive kidney failure in Mexico. 'Regimes of care' extend far beyond clinical interventions, incorporating (and insisting upon) the ongoing labors of kin, including the transport challenges of ongoing dialysis treatments, the oppressive cost of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplant, the limits of universal insurance and its bureaucratic burdens, and even the necessity of having a microwave at home. This beautifully written, thought-provoking work stands out as an important contribution to social scientists’ writings on the sociomedical dimensions of organ failure, healthcare disparities, and on the entanglement of suffering and hope.”— Lesley A. Sharp, author of The Transplant Imaginary "the book is sensitive to multiple theoretical lenses that unpack the rich ethnographic details in the local complex settings. It is a must-read for those interested in medical anthropology, clinical nephrology, science and technology studies, global health, and biomedical ethics as it shows how organ transplantation, a 'miracle' medicine of the twentieth century, actually exploits the poor."— Medical Anthropology Quarterly “Chronic Failures unfolds a chilling account of the pathological regimes of renal care in Jalisco, Mexico, written in taut prose that is at once theoretically incisive and full of telling ethnographic texture. Moving deftly across the specific and entangled relations of bodies, markets, and state, this book brilliantly weaves together clinical paper-work and polluted lake water, pharmaceutical tianguis and charitable billionaires, media scandals and a mysterious new form of chronic kidney failure into a compelling indictment of the mirage of biomedical salvation.

Book SynopsisEvidence-based Nephrology provides students of nephrology and practicing clinicians with a convenient single source of clinical evidence that has been passed through an evidence-based filter. This fully revised second edition incorporates substantial new available data, updated methods of research synthesis, and a renewed focus on consumer engagement in the evaluation and management kidney disease. This updatedtextbookincludes twenty new chapters and threenew sections, covering supportive careand patient-centered care and outcomes.In addition, every chapter that was in the first edition has been extensively updated. This new edition coversepidemiology, acute kidney injury,primary diseases of the kidney,secondarydiseases of the kidney, chronic kidney disease and complications, hemodialysis, chronic kidney disease stage 5, peritoneal dialysis, supportive care, transplantation, electrolytes and acid-base disorders, and patientcenteredcare and outcomes for both adult and for pediatric patients. Boasting a new co-editor along with several new chapter authorsand section editors, Evidence-based Nephrology is now an even better evidence-based nephrology tool, where each chapter provides a clear foundation of the topic that is supported by the best current evidence. This new edition includes broader coverage of the available evidenceand addressescrucialclinical questions regarding the treatment and care of people with all stages of chronic kidney disease, including people undergoing any form of dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), those requiring kidney transplantation andpediatricpatients. Evidence-based Nephrology, Second Edition, is a core resource for the evidence-based nephrology practitioner who is otherwise limited by time constraints from researching every question that may arise daily in the care of their patients.Table of ContentsVolume: I Part 1: Epidemiology 1 An Introduction to the Epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease 2 The Surveillance and Burden of Chronic Kidney Disease 3 Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease: An Evidence-based Approach to Risk Stratification 4 Screening for Chronic Kidney Disease 5 Risk Prediction in Chronic Kidney Disease 6 Chronic Kidney Disease in Disadvantaged Populations Part 2: Acute Kidney Injury 7 Overview / Definition, Classification and Epidemiology of Acute Kidney Disease 8 Pre-Renal Failure and Obstructive Disease 9 Hepatorenal Syndrome 10 Acute Tubular Necrosis 11 Iodinated Contrast and Acute Kidney Injury 12 Miscellaneous Etiologies of Acute Kidney Injury 13 Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury Part 3: Primary Diseases of the Kidney 14 Renal Biopsy 15 Minimal Change Disease and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in Adults 16 Membranous Nephropathy 17 IgA Nephropathy in Adults and Children 18 Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis 19 Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease 20 Urinary Tract Infections 21a Toxic Nephropathies: Environmental Agents and Metals 21b Toxic Nephropathies: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Part 4: Secondary Diseases of the Kidney 22 Hypertension 23 Renovascular Disease 24 Diabetic Nephropathy 25 Lupus Nephritis 26 Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome 27 Pregnancy 28 ANCA Associated Vasculitis 29 Paraprotein Associated Kidney Disorders 30 Primary Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and C3 Glomerulopathies : A Clinical Approach Part 5: Chronic Kidney Disease and complications 31 Cardiovascular disease and CKD 32 Infection and CKD 33 Treatment of Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease 34 Dyslipidemia in CKD 35 Hypertension 36 Mineral and Bone Disorder 37 Nutritional Disorders in Chronic Kidney Disease: Pathophysiology, Detection, and Treatment 38 Preparation for Dialysis 39 Choice of Hemodialysis or Peritoneal Dialysis for Kidney Replacement Therapy Volume: II Part 6: Hemodialysis 40 Modalities of Extracorporeal Therapy 41 Dialysis Dose and Adequacy for Hemodialysis 42 General Management of the HD patient 43 Infections in Hemodialysis Patients 44 Vascular Access Part 7: Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5: Peritoneal Dialysis 45 Small Solute Clearance in Peritoneal Dialysis 46 Salt and Water Balance 47 Solutions 48 Peritoneal Dialysis: Infections 49 Urgent Start 50 Catheters Part 8: Supportive Care 51 Overview of Kidney Supportive Care 52 Symptoms 53 Prognostication in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease 54 Advance Care Planning 55 Conservative Kidney Management and Dialysis Withdrawal Part 9: Transplantation 56 Evaluation of the Living Donor Kidney 57 The Impact of Deceased Donor Quality and Outcomes after Kidney Transplantation 58 Early Medical and Surgical Complications After Kidney Transplantation 59 Infections after Kidney Transplantation Part 10: Electrolytes and Acid-Base Disorders 60 Electrolyte Disorders 61 Metabolic Evaluation and Prevention of Kidney Stone Disease Part 11: Pediatrics 62 Growth, Nutrition and Development 63 Bone Disease in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease 64 Anemia 65 Peritoneal Dialysis in Children 66 Hemodialysis 67 Urinary Tract Infections in Children 68 Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Glomerulonephritis and IgA Nephropathy in Children 69 Hereditary Nephritis in Children 70 Shigatoxin Related Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Part 12: Patient-centred care and outcomes 71 Shared Decision Making 72 Fatigue 73 Depression 74 Pain 75 Neurocognitive Disorders 76 Pruritus 77 Sexual Dysfunction 78 Family and Caregiver Support

Book SynopsisNephrology is an important speciality; patients with acute or chronic kidney failure are encountered in every medical and surgical speciality, as well as in general practice. On most general medical rotations and on most surgical wards there are patients with renal problems. Renal medicine is taught on rotation during degree courses, and Foundation training programmes frequently include attachments in nephrology, urology, and renal transplantation. Nephrology: Clinical Cases Uncovered contains clinical presentations with real-life patient cases and outcomes as seen on the wards and in exams, and leads students through a practical approach to diagnosis and management of kidney disease. Following a question-answer approach, including self-assessment material and a refresher' section on the basic science of this clinical area, Nephrology: Clinical Cases Uncovered features investigations and the treatment options available for patients with renal disease, including those Trade Review"This is a helpful resource for medical students, medicine interns and residents, and nephrology fellows, as well as a reference for teachers of nephrology ... I would recommend this for academic nephrologists and nephrology fellows, but mainly for residents and students on nephrology rotations." (Doody's, 9 March 2012) "The presentation is lively and the author's experience and enthusiasm for teaching the subject over more than a decade is evident...This book should appeal not only to medical undergraduates but also to trainees in renal diseases and other related specialties." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, January 2011)"The beauty of this book is that it translates a lot of the very dry information provided in traditional text books into real-life scenarios. The cases are interesting to read and you always like to see if your own management plan corresponds to the expert's one. In summary this is a very useful book for all who work in renal medicine. The clear format makes it suitable for nurses as well as doctors, and explains the rationale behind a lot of the treatment decisions we make. Overall highly recommended."
