Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology, Third edition remains the definitive translational reference in the field of nephroendocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. It offers researchers and clinicians expert analyses of nephroendocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoporosis, and hypoparathyroidism.
Since the publication of the 2nd edition in 2009 there have many updates and new findings have emerged. The new edition covers these needed updates and new chapters have been added including a dedicated chapter on the pathophysiology of inflammation, iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, the treatment of pre-eclampsia, and HIF-PHIs.
- The newly updated third edition presents emerging data on the role of metabolic acidosis in the progression of CKD, novel agents to treat pre-eclampsia, including proton pump inhibitors, metformin, micronutrients and biologics, and includes discussions on the role of metabolic acidosis in kidney progression and metabolic acidosis and chronic kidney disease
- Offers clear translational presentations by the top endocrinologists and nephrologists in each specific hormone or functional/systems field

Dr. Singh has led groundbreaking studies in anemia of kidney disease, including the CHOIR study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and well as being a member of the steering committees for the TREAT and DRIVE studies. More recently, he has taken on the role of leading the ASCEND Clinical development program - a phase 3 program for the development of a novel propyl hydroxylase inhibitor Daprodustat. The trial is aiming to recruit 7500 patients in over countries. He currently leads the office of Postgraduate Medical Education at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, and in this capacity leads several HMS CME courses. He is the author of over 160 original contributions and review articles, as well as author/editor of 11 books in internal medicine and nephrology. Dr. Singh is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London, and has an MBA from Boston University.
