Product Description

Review

I am amazed at how clearly and succinctly the essential information is presented. ...no detail is left out, making this an easy and coherent read. (Doody's Notes )


Product Description

Acute renal failure is present in up to 5% of all hospital admissions and continues to carry considerable morbidity and mortality. The problem of chronically impaired kidney function is relevant to all medical practitioners regardless of their specialist interest. In addition, regular contact with patients who are dialysis-dependent or have undergone renal transplantation is now the norm, not the exception. Based on the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology and companion to the Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, the Oxford Handbook of Nephrology and Hypertension provides clear information and practical advice about the day-to-day management of patients with renal disease. The handbook includes practical information helpful to those working 'at the coal face', in addition to the more detailed knowledge that enables effective ongoing patient care. In line with contemporary nephrological practice, a significant portion of the handbook deals with the problem of hypertension, a major cardiovascular risk factor and the commonest indication for prescription drug therapy. Clinical importance is measured in space, so diabetic nephropathy is given more attention than, for example, Anderson-Fabry disease. The section on renal replacement therapy gives an overview of the essential elements of both dialysis and transplantation. The handbook is laid out in twelve chapters that allow easy access to information on a particular clinical subject. To help ensure relevance and accuracy, each of these chapters has been prepared with the assistance of an acknowledged expert in the field. This is the essential resource for all those working with renal patients including Specialist Registrars in nephrology, SHOs and interns, renal nurses and general practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars really good for SHOs, a bit basic for reegistrars..., 20 Nov 2007
I really like this oxford handbook. It is perfect as a guide for renal SHOs like myself who only spend 4 months in the speciality. The topics are divided up into really neat sections and the scope is very comprehensive. However the detail particularly on management steps is fairly prinicple based and not very detailed. The sections on basic science are really good but not laborious. Overall probably a bit basic for registrars but perfect for SHOS, gp...
(MUCH MUCH MORE relevant for drs than the oxford handbook of dialysis which is a technical manual).

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple but comprehensive book, 22 Sep 2006
By Dr. Humayun Muhammad "huma1509" (Uk Leicester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Renal medicine is considered to be a complex science for its unique nature of involving with patients both at clinical and biochemical level on daily basis. This book approaches this complexity with a simple way to present both these involvements in a unified way. Its starts with brief clinical assessment of a renal patient both in out patient and inpatient setup. It then focuses on two main clinical challenges, the ARF and CRF. This book explains each one of them in detail, explaining clinical signs, Laboratory features and management strategies as the renal disease unfolds itself. This book addresses diverse topics including renal replacement therapy at one end and renal physiology and pharmacology at other end. I think this is invaluable treasure for all those concerned with renal patients at junior or senior level. I think this is simple but comprehensive book.
