Su abordaje es bastante básico, sin profundizar demasiado en el aspecto molecular y, a través de sus 21 capítulos presenta un amplio abanico de trastornos fisiológicos que se reflejan gracias a las alteraciones en los diferentes niveles de elementos químicos del organismo (niveles de Na, K…) y de biomoléculas (hormonas, enzimas...). Cada uno de los capítulos se inicia con una introducción en donde se hace un recordatorio de los aspectos correspondientes a ciencias básicas referentes a los trastornos que se van a tratar. Incluye también capítulos específicos relativos a: alteraciones metabólicas en los procesos oncológicos y diferentes respuestas en franjas de edad extrema (población anciana y pediátrica). Cada capítulo presenta los siguientes recursos didácticos: negrita para resaltar aquellos conceptos más relevantes; cuadros de fondo verde en donde se dan "pistas" para el correcto diagnóstico, o se enumeran las características y causas de diferentes trastornos metabólicos (ej: hiperprolactinemia, diabetes insipidus…); algoritmos diagnósticos; cuadros de casos clínicos (aprox. 100), en donde tras una presentación y los resultados de laboratorio obtenidos, se comenta cuál es el diagnóstico y el porqué del razonamiento; cuadro resumen en fondo rojo, en donde en forma de puntos se recogen las ideas y conceptos más importantes tratados en el capítulo.

    • French
    Le lupus érythémateux est une maladie chronique, qui résulte d'un dérèglement multifactoriel du système immunitaire et qui illustre parfaitement le concept de maladie auto-immune systémique. Affection aux symptômes multiples, elle se déclare le plus souvent par des manifestations cutanées ou articulaires, mais elle peut toucher n'importe quel organe. De par la complexité de son diagnostic et de son traitement, le lupus érythémateux est une maladie parfois grave dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge font appel à un grand nombre de spécialités médicales : dermatologie, rhumatologie, médecine interne, néphrologie, hématologie, pédiatrie, biologie médicale, mais aussi parfois pneumologie, cardiologie, gastro-entérologie..... Ce livre didactique, organisé sous la forme de mises au point et d'interrogations que le professionnel de santé est amené à se poser, propose : - un ancrage diagnostique et thérapeutique par des mises au point, dans la première partie, offrant un rappel de la physiopathologie du lupus érythémateux, de ses manifestations cliniques et biologiques et de son traitement ; - un approfondissement des différentes manifestations, des situations particulières et des complications que peut présenter le patient lupique : lupus chez l'enfant, grossesse et lupus, risque infectieux, ostéonécrose, ischémie cutanée, douleurs abdominales, etc. ; - une évaluation des multiples traitements, chaque symptôme nécessitant une cure spécifique. Les syndromes plus rares associés au lupus, comme le syndrome d'Evans ou encore le syndrome d'activation macrophagique par exemple, sont ainsi abordés spécifiquement, afin de déterminer le remède le plus adapté. Cet ouvrage exhaustif, illustré par de nombreux tableaux et figures, éclaire une maladie complexe et polymorphe. Il guidera les nombreux praticiens pour lesquels le lupus érythémateux est un enjeu majeur de diagnostic, véritable cas d'école de diagnostic différentiel. Il apportera une aide considérable dans la prise en charge thérapeutique en abordant concrètement les nombreuses situations cliniques auxquelles les malades lupiques sont exposés.
