Vitamin D in Chronic Kidney Disease
M. Vervloet, Mario Cozzolinoe altri
editore: Springer International Publishing AG
pagine: 602
Vitamin D deficiency, circulating levels lower than 15 ng/ml, is an epidemic disease worldwide with more than a billion people suffering of it in the beginning of the 21-century. Besides its impact on mineral and bone metabolism, these low vitamin D levels are also associated with a diversity of non-skeletal complications, among them cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, cancer, tuberculosis, and immune system dysfunction. Chronic Kidney Disease is also a very common disease, affecting more than 10% of the world population, ranging from stage 1 to stage 5 before dialysis. Approximately 1% of the population in industrialized countries is affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD), needing a renal replacement therapy either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, and ultimately by renal transplantation. Those CKD patients are more susceptible to exhibit reduced vitamin D stocks. Consequently, more than eighty percent of CKD patients have either insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels for multiple reasons.
Renal Physiology
A Clinical Approach
John Danziger, Mark Zeidele altri
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 232
The complexity and copious number of details that must be mastered in order to fully understand renal physiology makes this one of the most daunting and intimidating topics covered in the first year of medical school. Although this is often only a 2-4 week module during the general physiology course, it is essential that students understand the foundations of renal physiology, and general physiology texts are often not detailed enough to provide students with what they need to master this difficult subject. This first edition, and third volume in the "Integrated Physiology Series", offers students a clear, clinically oriented overview of renal physiology. The lecture-style format, conversational tone, and final Integration chapter offset the difficult and intimidating nature of the subject. Chapter outlines, learning objectives, and end-of-chapter summaries highlight key concepts for easier assimilation. Other pedagogical features include clinical cases, Thought Questions, Putting It Together sections, Editor's Integration boxes, review Q&A, and online animations - all designed specifically to reinforce clinical relevance and to challenge the student in real-world problem-solving.
Evidence-Based Nephrology
Donald A. Molony, Jonathan C. Craig
editore: Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley & Sons Ltd)
pagine: 864
This book covers the management of all major renal diseases from an evidence-based and patient-centred approach. With contributions from leading international experts who have a real understanding of evidence-based medicine it provides recommendations on treatment regimens to adopt for individual patients that are most strongly supported by the evidence. The inclusion of the latest observational and epidemiological data, as well as randomized controlled trial evidence ensures that the book properly reflects the current state of evidence available for nephrological practice. It will be a useful aid to all clinicians, including those caring for transplant and pediatric patients, as it covers the major clinical questions encountered by nephrologists. This reference is an invaluable source of evidence-based information distilled into guidance for clinical practice which will be welcomed by practitioners, trainees and associated health professionals.

Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes
Mark A. Perazella, Robert F. Reilly
editore: McGraw-Hill Medical
pagine: 496
"Essential Evidence-Based Data for Common Clinical Encounters": 'This is very useful for providers who desire a fast review of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders without asking for in-depth information. Background information about pathophysiology and references are not included, but are not needed. This makes the book unique and quite different from other available resources on the topic. 3 Stars' - "Doody's Review Service". Make sense of acid-base and electrolytes with this compact, on-the-go guide. It is filled with clinical facts, figures, and data. In this ultra-convenient resource, the authors have distilled down the most relevant insights from their acclaimed text "Nephrology in 30 Days", giving you a complete, yet concise overview of acid-base and electrolytes - supported by evidence-based findings. You'll find at-a-glance tables and a bulleted format that puts key diagnostic and clinical information right at your fingertips. This one-stop guide gets you up to speed on the major issues in acid-base and electrolyte disturbances, from metabolic acidosis to serum calcium disorders.
It's the perfect clinical companion to more in-depth acid-base texts - one that goes beyond educational principles to focus on the real world of clinical medicine and patient management. It is the perfect portable brain for the wards. It gives vital facts and figures everyone forgets to remember. They are presented in easy-access tables.

Testo atlante di fisiologia umana. Apparato renale con cenni di fisiopatologia
Luigi F. Agnati
editore: CEA
pagine: 160
Questo volume è parte di un corso di Fisiologia Umana pensato in modo diverso dall'approccio tradizionalmente utilizzato nei trattati e nei compendi. Si tratta, infatti, di una serie di monografie (la prima delle quali è stata dedicata all'apparato circolatorio), ciascuna delle quali affronta un apparato in modo conciso, ma sufficientemente completo. Sono state fatte scelte, sia di contenuto sia editoriali, che vanno incontro alle esigenze di un apprendimento agevole da parte dello studente. Inoltre, l'intera opera è impostata secondo i dettami della tabella XVIII di riordino dell'insegnamento nel corso di Laurea in Medicina e Chirurgia.
The Kidney and Hypertension in Diabetes Mellitus
Carl Erik Mogensen

pagine: 954
Now in its sixth edition, The Kidney and Hypertension in Diabetes Mellitus retains its position as the comprehensive resource for information on diabetic kidney disease. The book covers all aspects of renal involvement in diabetes and incorporates information from important publications and new trials conducted during the last three years. The new edition focuses on pressure-induced and metabolic related aberration in relation to genetic abnormalities, and also changes developing in fetal life. New chapters explore exercise, lipidemia, and retinopathy in diabetic renal disease and new data are presented regarding structural changes in NIDDM-patients and the comparison of diabetic and non-diabetic renal disease. The book covers new guidelines and definitions in type 2 diabetes, management of end-stage renal failure, and demographic trends in the patient population. Other topics include diabetic nephropathy, glycemic control, and early treatment in normotensive patients with microalbuminuria with ACE-inhibitors.
