Book Description
The third edition of this classic translational text offers in-depth reviews of the metabolic and nutritional disorders that are prevalent in patients with renal disease. Chapter topics are expanded to address the growing epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Each chapter integrates basic and clinical approaches, from cell biology and genetics to diagnosis, patient management and treatment. Chapters in sections 4-7 include new illustrative case reports and all chapters will emphasize key concepts with chapter-ending summaries. New features also include the latest National Kidney Foundation Clinical Practice Guidelines on Nutrition in Chronic Renal Failure; the most recent scientific discoveries and the latest techniques for assessing nutritional status in renal disease; and literature reviews on patients who receive continuous veno-venous hemofiltration with or without dialysis. This title: provides a common language for nephrologists, nutritionists, endocrinologists, and other interested physicians to discuss the underlying research and translation of best practices for the nutritional management and prevention of renal disease; saves clinicians and researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest details on nutritional practice as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles. Correct diagnosis (and therefore correct treatment) of renal, metabolic, and nutritional disorders depends on a strong understanding of the molecular basis for the disease – both nephrologists and nutritionists will benefit. Nephrologists and nutritionists will gain insight into which treatments, medications, and diets to use based on the history, progression, and genetic make-up of a patient. Case Reports will offer an added resource for fellows, nutritionists, and dieticians who need a refresher course.
Editorial Reviews
Review
REVIEWS OF THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS: Doody’s 5-Star review: “This book is written for practicing nephrologists, but it is a good reference source for other medical professionals interested in nephrology (renal dietitians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners with a keen interest in renal nutrition). The editors are renowned experts in the field and have gathered a team of prominent contributors. This is a good clinical reference for physicians interested in the nutritional aspects of renal disease and its therapies… Recent advances and changes in clinical practice make this second edition a necessity.” (Doody’s 2004) “… an extrememly important book for all physicians and other healthcare providers who deal with patients either afflicated with either acute or chronic kidney failure.” – Rober W. Schrier, MD, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver (from the Preface to the Second Edition) “As a practicing clinician whose population includes a large number of kidney patients, I am impressed that the specialized metabolic problems that frequently occur in the renal patient, the clinical manifestations of nutritional disorders, and the importance of nutritional management to improve the quality of life are aptly discussed. I strongly recommend this textbook as an excellent resource for nutritional management of patients with renal disease and as a great addition to any hospital library.”-Nephrology Nursing Journal (2004) –Nephrology Nursing Journal (2004)
