This Handbook serves as a convenient, state-of-the-art and
comprehensive resource on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of
glomerular diseases. Clinical approaches, modalities and challenges are
provided, along with new developments since the publication of Kidney
Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO): Glomerulonephritis.
Chapters
dedicated to glomerular diseases mirror the current classification
schemes used by Nephrologists and Pathologists and will include
definition and natural history, epidemiology, clinical manifestations,
pathology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment (algorithms when
appropriate), prognosis and future prospects and current direction of
research.
Contributing authors consist of
internationally renowned glomerulonephritis experts, renal pathologists
and clinical nephrologists who are engaged in the management of
glomerular diseases in clinical pediatric and internal medicine
practices.
Glomerulonephritis fills a considerable
knowledge gap for general nephrologists, providers involved with the
care of patients with glomerular diseases, and researchers. It should
also be of value to medical students, interns, residents and fellows, as
well as all clinicians engaged in medical education.
