About the Book

Paediatric Nephrology is designed to help the reader understand and manage any condition affecting the kidney in childhood. It is pocket-sized to give easy reference in the clinical setting and highlights the important issues for quick use. From history taking and urinalysis, electrolyte management, acute kidney injury and transplantation, all aspects are covered in this concise yet comprehensive guide to this specialist area. It is an invaluable reference for both the general paediatrician and the specialist on: · history taking and examination, urinalysis and radiological investigations; · the management of acute emergencies such as fluid, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances and acute renal failure; · renal problems in the neonate; · issues involving immunology, dialysis, vaccination and drug prescribing; · key areas, such as chronic kidney disease, transplantation, and acute kidney injury. The appendix provides useful additional information and protocols. This new edition is up-to-date and evidence-based when possible. Tables and equations direct readers to the use of relevant medication and drug dosages.

Review :
`This is a book that makes the professional life of a paediatrician and paediatric nephrologist a lot easier...an excellent handbook in paediatric nephrology.' ACTA Paediatrics, June 2013 `The highly knowledgeable medical teams from Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital have revised and published another edition of Pediatric Nephrology. This is a true handbook in which the authors give the reader an overview of pediatric nephrology in a very systematic, educational and inspiring way Although in a compact format, most of the subject is thoroughly covered, and with the help of this book the reader will be able to handle most challenges. This edition should be available at any children's section, available to anyone who is on duty. For younger physicians who want to learn pediatric nephrology, it is obligatory!' Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening, Feb 2013 `With this second edition, the handbook continues to function as a comprehensive quick reference, essentially covering all clinical aspects of normal and abnormal kidney function as well as diagnostic evaluation and treatment of clinical conditions in pediatric nephrology. This handbook successfully accomplishes its goals. It is a unique publication that truly does not have a comparable equivalent. This book certainly does not try to replace major textbooks but it is an extremely useful resource in its new edition. It will be widely used by clinicians at all levels. 5 stars!' Doody's Reviews the book is a must buy for all pediatric residents,its pediatric consultants, intensive care specialists, pediatric
