Brenner & Rector…a legacy of authority…a necessity for state-of-the-art care! This revised 8th Edition of The Kidney continues to provide exhaustive, authoritative coverage of nephrology—from basic science through diagnosis and management. Two brand-new sections, Epidemiology and Risk Factors in Kidney Disease and Frontiers in Kidney Disease, as well as fourteen new chapters, including Interventional Nephrology, Endocrine Aspects of Kidney Disease, Plasmapheresis, and many others, keep you on the cusp of the latest advances. Plus, 550 full-color high-quality photographs and abundant algorithms and tables enhance your comprehension.
- Coverage of the complete breadth of the specialty broadens your knowledge base.
- A discussion on the basic science that underpins clinical nephrology prepares you for certification or recertification.
- A comprehensive selection of the most important sources in nephrology expands your reference needs.
- Full-color high-quality photographs, as well as abundant and carefully chosen figures, algorithms, and tables add to your comprehension of the material.
- A visually aided, logical organization gives you access to the information you need quickly.
