Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology

Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology, Third Edition remains the definitive translational reference in the field of nephroendocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. This new edition includes updates on the pathophysiology of inflammation, iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, the treatment of pre-eclampsia, and HIF-PHIs. The book offers researchers and clinicians expert analyses of nephroendocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoporosis, and hypoparathyroidism.

Since the publication of the 2nd edition in 2009, many updates and new findings have emerged.

• Presents emerging data on the role of metabolic acidosis in the progression of CKD and novel agents to treat pre-eclampsia, including proton pump inhibitors, metformin, micronutrients, and biologics
• Covers the role of metabolic acidosis in kidney progression, metabolic acidosis, and chronic kidney disease
• Offers clear, translational presentations by top endocrinologists and nephrologists in each specific hormone or functional/systems field
