Customer Reviews

A must have
Read book cover to cover in preparation for your renal exam during nurse anesthesia school. Usually required too.

Simply the best
This is simply the best in its class--a foundation of my medical education. The diagrams are excellent. Text explanations are clear, detailed, precise and, most importantly, succinct. When I die, bury me with Vander's Renal Physiology.

Renal Physiology Made Easy
Real Physiology provides the basics needed for a medical school renal unit. By purchasing this book, a medical student is able to focus on the renal system in more detail than in some basic physiology texts.

Urologic Issues and Pregnancy, An Issue of Urologic Clinics (The Clinics: Surgery) By Deborah Erickson

Product Description

This issue of the Urologic Clinics of North America is dedicated to urologic aspects of pregnancy. This will be a valuable reference for urologists and other clinicians who take care of urologic problems in women of childbearing age. Previous issues of Urologic Clinics of North America have included individual articles about specific urologic problems in pregnancy, but the latest of these is from 2002, and this is the first time that so many different papers, on various urologic aspects of pregnancy, are compiled together in a single volume. The issue provides state-of-the-art information from experts in the field. The topics include: changes in the urinary tract during pregnancy, evaluation and treatment of urinary stone disease, urinary tract infections and urologic cancers in pregnancy, evaluation and treatment of fetal urologic anomalies, pregnancy in women with urinary diversions, use of pharmaceutical agents in pregnancy, urologic radiology in pregnancy, interstitial cystitis in pregnancy and postpartum genitourinary changes.

Exercise-Induced Acute Renal Failure: Acute Renal Failure with Severe Loin Pain and Patchy Renal Ischemia after Anaerobic Exercise by Isao Ishikawa

Product Description

Acute renal failure induced by rhabdomyolysis after strenuous, prolonged exercise such as marathon running or mountain climbing is a well-known medical phenomenon, but exercise-induced acute renal failure after short-term anaerobic exercise - for instance, short-distance track races - has been recognized only recently. This monograph provides in-depth information on exercise-induced acute renal failure after short-term anaerobic exercise, which causes severe pain in the loin and patchy renal ischemia with no sign of rhabdomyolysis. Half of the patients suffering from this condition experience renal hypouricemia, for which approximately 20% are treated with dialysis. This complete clinical reference book includes characteristics of the disease, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, and corresponding preventive measures. Important information on gene analysis and etiology is also included, creating a valuable resource for nephrologists as well as for emergency physicians and those in the field of sports medicine.

Review

From the reviews:

"This book focuses on exercise-induced acute renal failure (ALPE), describing the condition in great detail including clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Pertinent reviews of the literature as well as multiple tables, figures, and images are provided throughout the text. The author identifies emergency room physicians, nephrologists, general practitioners, and sports medicine physicians as his target audience. However, the book may be most appealing and pertinent to readers with a particular interest in nephrology." (Chris A. Klenck, Doody's Review Service, August, 2007)
