Nefrologia

Di fronte ad una iponatremia, sottrarre acqua o somministrare sodio? Se si decide di somministrare soluzione ipertonica al 3% di cloruro di sodio meglio il bolo o l'in-fusione? Come varia il potassio nelle situazioni di acidosi e alcalosi? Cosa fare se una ipopotassiemia non risponde alla terapia? Esistono dei limiti al compenso nei disturbi dell'equilibrio acido-base? Quale importanza può avere l'approccio di Stewart all'equilibrio acido-ba-se? Di quanto espande la volemia un litro di soluzione fisiologica? Come assistere un paziente chirurgico con adeguata terapia infusionale? Quali disturbi elettrolitici si riscontrano nello scompenso cardiaco? Quali sono i principi della terapia dialitica?Se avete chiare tutte le risposte non è necessario leggere questo libro...

In questo volumetto proviamo a riscoprire il metodo di Stewart.Se partiamo dal concetto che il pH è sempre misurato, a noi rimane la possibilità di interpretare i risultati, secondo il metodo tradizionale (descrittivo) o in base all'approccio di Stewart (quantitativo), entrambi equivalenti secondo la teoria dell'equilibrio ionico.Importante non trascurare i benefici e non solo la complessità di un metodo rispetto all'altro.

Edizione italiana della 6a edizione inglese

Nowadays, more than 850 million people worldwide suffer from kidney disease. Over the last ten years, new therapeutic options have been discovered for slowing down chronic kidney disease progression. In this book, new multidisciplinary strategies (e.g., related to nephrology, cardiology, primary care, endocrinology, etc.) for treating patients suffering from chronic kidney disease - with and without diabetes - are fully explained and detailed. This book will give the reader the opportunity to delve into the risk factors for chronic kidney disease progression and its multifactorial treatment, to analyze the classical renin-angiotensin system protection, and to examine in depth the new strategies already present on the market for delaying kidney disease progression and decreasing cardiovascular risk in patients at high risk of cardiovascular mortality. Even though in the last decade the future of people with chronic kidney has clearly improved, the implementation of already accepted renoprotective strategies and new therapies is still crucial to prevent kidney disease from progressing to its end stage.
