This third edition provides updated and new chapters on recent innovations in basic renal research. Chapters are divided into three sections covering in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models of kidney disease, recent advances in imaging techniques and protocols for performing analytical and functional measurements in the kidney; techniques that are both topical and of widespread relevance to the study of kidney biology and disease. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and methods, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols, Third Edition aims to be comprehensive guide for researchers in the field.

Dr. Paul Klimo, a Neurosurgeon with the Wright-Patterson Medical Center at the Wright-Patterson United States Air Force Base in Ohio guest edits this informative issue on pediatric vascular neurosurgery. Dr. Klimo and his contributors cover numerous key topics, including normal and abnormal development of the intracranial vascular system, congenital and inherited pediatric neurovascular diseases, diagnosis and management of arteriovenous malformations in children, radiosurgery for pediatric arteriovenous malformations, neurointerventional techniques in children, intracranial cavernous malformations in children, spinal vascular malformations in children, and many more.

Written in an easy to follow format, each entry contains illustrative figures to aid in pathological and radiographical diagnosis, as well as structured discussion of evaluation and multimodality management.The alphabetical layout eliminates redundancy and allows the busy physician to quickly locate relevant information.

This second edition expands upon the previous volume with additional emphasis on recent innovation in basic renal research and has a more holistic approach on associated disorders such as complications associated with peritoneal dialysis, ischemic acute kidney injury, the sympathetic nervous system, and vascular calcification. The book is divided into five parts: Part I provides a number of in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models of kidney disease and associated complications; Part II looks at recent advances in imaging techniques; Part III covers recent developments in studying metabolism in renal ischemia and reperfusion; Part IV addresses study and measurement of vascular calcification; and Part V explores analytical techniques that are both topical and of widespread relevance to the study of experimental renal disease. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and cutting-edge, Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable collection of protocols useful to new and experienced researchers who are interested in the field of Nephrology.
