Taylor & Francis Ltd Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management of
Book SynopsisUrolithiasis, or stone disease occurs in 7% of women and 12% of men at some point, and these statistics are rising. Furthermore, for those who form a stone, the likelihood of a recurrence is nearly 50% within 5 years of initial diagnosis. Therefore, the need for effective, minimally invasive alternatives for stone eradication and prevention is critical. Because stone disease comprises a large part of any urologist’s practice, a thorough knowledge of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of stone disease is critical in order to understand and implement treatment strategies to prevent stone formation. Likewise, a working knowledge of the surgical treatments, instrumentation and outcomes is necessary to arm patients with sufficient information to make an informed decision and to provide the appropriate treatment modality for a given stone situation. In Urolithiasis: Medical and Surgical Management, the authors provide a complete guide to the management of stone disease from both a medical and surgical prospective. This book should be an invaluable resource for those who treat stone disease in any capacity, whether surgically or medically, acutely or long-term. Table of ContentsI. Metabolic Aspects of Stone Disease 1. Epidemiology of Stone Disease 2. Pathogenesis of Renal Calculi 3. Basic Metabolic Evaluation for Nephrolithiasis 4. Role of Diet in Stone Prevention 5.

John Libbey Eurotext Human Ochratoxicosis & its Pathologies
Book SynopsisAmong the various mycotoxins affecting man, OTA -- involved in the renal disease endemic in the Balkans -- is thought by the International Cancer Research Centre (ICRC) to be a potential carcinogen. The question facing the international ochratoxin-A specialists was whether endemic renal disease in the Balkans was still restricted to this geographical region. A careful study of human ochratoxicosis and other possibly associated pathologies in under-developed countries could enable future developments of the problems to be forecast in other parts of the globe and hence allow means of preventive action to be sought.

John Libbey Eurotext Recurrence of the Disease in the Renal Graft
Book SynopsisWhen a grafted part fails to take, it is usually because of acute or chronic rejection, either for strictly immunological reasons or because of failure to properly follow the immunosuppressive therapy. There are other reasons for loss of a transplant however, notably when the disease that led to a kidney transplant returns after the operation, something that happens in 5 to 15% of cases. This book aims to: Review the current state of knowledge and methods of care; Suggest therapeutic consensus, especially in cases of nephrotic syndrome, by using specific post-transplant treatment or preventive measures; Connect up the various practices concerning choice of donors; Spell out more clearly the approach to take when a first transplant fails and another is envisaged; Sponsored by the Mérieux Foundation and the work of leading international experts in the field, the book provides indispensable top-quality information.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Renal Pharmacotherapy: Dosage Adjustment of Medications Eliminated by the Kidneys
Book SynopsisTo promote effectiveness and minimize possible toxicity, the dosage of certain medications must be adjusted in persons with compromised kidney function. Failure to enjoin appropriate dosage adjustments in patients with abnormal or rapidly changing kidney function continues to lead to reports of drug toxicity involving a broad array of renally eliminated medications.This updated edition captures nearly 200 new drugs that have been approved by the FDA since the initial publication of Renal Pharmacotherapy. It also covers new evidence that has emerged regarding the need to adjust dosage of certain older medications that are eliminated by the kidneys. Additionally, it presents new data that are being continuously derived in the areas of patient-specific dose individualization for drugs of all types.Comprehensive, convenient, and evidence-based, this reference closes several identified knowledge gaps and will continue to be the leading collection of dosage recommendations for patients with compromised kidney function.Table of ContentsA: Acamprosate to Aztreonam B: Bacitracin to Butorphanol C: Capecitabine to Cycloserine D: Dabigatran to Dyphylline E: Edetate Calcium Disodium to Exenatide F: Famciclovir to Fosfomycin G: Gabapentin to Glyburide H: Hetastarch to Hydroxyurea I: Ibandronate to Itraconazole K: Kanamycin to Ketorolac L: Lacosamide to Lurasidone M: Magnesium Citrate to Mycophenolate Mofetil N: Nabumetone to Norfloxacin O: Ofloxacin to Oxcarbazepine P: Paliperidone to Pyridostigmine Q: Quinapril to Quinine R: Ramipril to Ruxolitinib S: Salsalate to Sunitinib T: Tadalafil to Trospium V: Valacyclovir to Voriconazole Z: Zalcitabine to Zonisamide Proprietary Name Index
