Cet ouvrage, dont la 1e édition a obtenu de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine le prix de la Ville de Paris en 1998, apparaît pour sa 3e édition en format électronique avec impression à la demande. Néphrologie et troubles hydroélectrolytiques, 3e édition, est l'un des rares manuels francophones destiné aux professionnels en néphrologie, spécialité réputée hermétique aux cliniciens. Il couvre tous les domaines de la pratique néphrologique exposés sous leurs aspects étiologiques, physiopathologiques, symptomatiques. Il comprend les descriptions des méthodes thérapeutiques, incluant la dialyse et la transplantation, assez détaillées pour être aisément utilisables, y compris dans les situations d'urgence. La néphrologie a, au cours des dernières années, connu des évolutions majeures, conséquences de modifications épidémiologiques et de progrès diagnostiques et thérapeutiques importants. En les incluant dans cette nouvelle édition, entièrement revue et actualisée, nous nous proposons, dans le même esprit que précédemment, d'accompagner dans leur pratique clinique et thérapeutique non seulement les néphrologues, mais aussi les médecins de toutes spécialités, qui sont ou seront confrontés à l'une ou l'autre des situations décrites dans l'ouvrage. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux internes et chefs de clinique de néphrologie, aux médecins spécialistes d'autres disciplines, aux internistes et aux spécialistes de médecine générale.
