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--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-based 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.

The perfect portable brain for the wardsVital facts and figures everyone forgets to rememberPresented in easy-access tables

A fast, innovative way to learn the core principles and clinical entities associated with nephrology at the point of care

Nephrology in 30 Days enables you to quickly and easily attain a complete understanding of the basics of nephrology, allowing you to successfully diagnose and manage kidney disease and its associated complications. Designed to impart this knowledge in just thirty days, this unique self-instructional tool is perfect for medical students, physician assistants, medical residents, and nephrology fellows rotating on the clinical nephrology service elective. Now in full color, Nephrology in 30 Days is the most effective way to gain a solid understanding of acute and chronic kidney diseases, disturbances of fluid and electrolyte balance, and disorders of acid-base and mineral metabolism homeostasis--in the least amount of time possible.

Updated to include the latest research and advances, including:

New formulas for estimating glomerular filtration rateThe role of WNK kinases in distal tubular sodium and potassium handlingRevised hyponatremia guidelinesThe use of vaptans for clinical useNewly reported forms of metabolic acidosisThe role FGF-23 and Klotho play in phosphorus homeostasisConcerns about the use of erythropoietic stimulating agentsApproaches to and classification of both chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injuryDiscussion of urinalysis and urine microscopy in the evaluation of kidney diseaseNew forms of tubulointerstitial disease such as immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseaseThe pathological classification of systemic lupus nephritis and other glomerular diseasesThe mechanisms and causes of essential and secondary forms of hypertension

This book provides comprehensive, cutting-edge scientific data on acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis, an area that has not been fully addressed in many nephrology textbooks. This book covers all relevant aspects of the disease, from historical aspects and pathogenesis to diagnosis, pathological findings, treatment, and prognosis and outcomes. The chapters also discuss both immune and non-immune mediated forms of the disease, as well as entities causing tubulointerstitial disease such as medications and toxins, infectious agents, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, genetic diseases, infiltrative disease and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology. The text features up-to-date educational materials that will benefit both basic and clinical scientists. Written by experts in the field, Tubulointerstitial Nephritis is a valuable resource for clinicians, practitioners, researchers and trainees working in the field of nephrology and internalmedicine.
