Chronic Kidney Disease by Junwei Yang,Weichun He Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the latest findings in a wide spectrum of clinically important aspects of chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on clinical diagnosis and therapeutics. CKD is a global health problem with a rising morbidity and mortality. The last decade has seen significant improvements in determining the incidence, prevalence, and complications of CKD, mainly thanks to the definitions of CKD developed by the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI). However, increased recognition of CKD has led to awareness of the limitations of its clinical diagnosis and treatment, which are essential to patients’ wellbeing. This book is of particular value not only to nephrologists, but also to general practitioners and residents with an interest in CKD. It offers a well-organized exposition of the current knowledge base. Compared with previously published books on kidney disease and CKD, it has a smaller number of more concise chapters. As a result, readers can easily obtain an overview of the most important topics in CKD. We hope that practitioners will gain as much from reading this practical guide to clinical management of CKD as we have from editing it.

Coping with Kidney Disease by Mackenzie Walser,Betsy Thorpe Pdf

A revolutionary program that can indefinitely postpone the need for dialysis If you've been diagnosed with kidney failure, this book could save your life. If you suffer from diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or any of a host of conditions that put you at risk for kidney disease, you owe it to yourself to read what is in this book. If you are among the 60,000 North Americans who go on dialysis each year, the information in this book could substantially improve your quality of life. In Coping with Kidney Disease, a leading expert tells you, in plain English, what you need to know to: * Understand kidney failure * Recognize early warning signs of kidney failure * Get a proper diagnosis * Talk with your doctors about it * Confidently evaluate treatment options * Take charge of your treatment * Delay dialysis or even avoid the need for it altogether The centerpiece of Coping with Kidney Disease is Dr. Walser's revolutionary 12-step program for avoiding dialysis. Based on treatments he has pioneered with his own patients at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the program calls for a supplemented low-protein diet supported by treatments to control blood pressure and correct high cholesterol. So effective has this breakthrough strategy proven to be that in many patients it actually worked to slow or arrest the progression of kidney failure to the end stage. Knowledge is power. Coping with Kidney Disease empowers you with what you need to take charge of kidney disease.

Renal Diseases by William Richard Basham Pdf

Excerpt from Renal Diseases: A Clinical Guide to Their Diagnosis and Treatment Clinical teaching, or instruction conveyed at the bedside, directly from the symptoms of the patient, has been long recognised as an integral and most essential part of medical education. But it is only very recently that the clinical examination of the student has been considered as the most effective proof of his practical knowledge of disease; and in all probability before long no student will be granted his diploma to practise his profession until his clinical knowledge of disease has been tested as a part of his final examination. It is with the view of promoting a practical and clinical knowledge of a class of diseases which are not without their difficulties in diagnosis that the present work has been prepared, with the hope that both student and young practitioner may by it be assisted in their clinical observations. The author's experience as a Lecturer on Medicine, and Clinical Teacher, leads him to believe that such a work will prove useful in clinical teaching, notwithstanding the many excellent works, in this department of medicine, already in the hands of the profession.

Nephrology: Diagnosis and Treatment of Kidney Diseases by Adriana Jones Pdf

Nephrology is a field of medicine which is concerned with the evaluation of kidney function, diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, and preservation of kidney health. The kidneys can be affected by a host of pathological conditions such as kidney diseases and systemic conditions. Kidney diseases can also cause various systemic diseases, like renal osteodystrophy and hypertension. Kidney diseases include chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, nephritic and nephrotic syndromes, and pyelonephritis. The chemical and microscopic analysis of the urine, kidney biopsy and CT scan, and measurement of kidney function through serum creatinine tests are common techniques of diagnosing kidney diseases. Kidney transplantation or dialysis may be required to treat kidney failure, while in cases of renal carcinoma, nephrectomy may be performed. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of nephrology are examined in detail in this book. Its objective is to give a general view of the different types of kidney diseases, and their diagnosis and treatment. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.

Chronic Kidney Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment by Peter Gibson Pdf

The gradual loss of kidney function is defined as chronic kidney disease. This leads to a buildup of wastes, electrolytes and fluids to a dangerous level within the body. The major symptoms of chronic kidney disease are nausea, loss of appetite and problems in sleeping. It can be caused by various medical issues such as high blood pressure, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and vesicoureteral reflux. Chronic kidney disease can cause a diverse range of complications in the human body, a few of which are anemia, fluid retention, pericarditis, and heart and blood vessel disease. Its treatment involves controlling the cause of the disease, managing the complications and slowing the cause of the disease. This book contains some path-breaking studies on the chronic kidney disease. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 5) by Dorairaj Prabhakaran,Shuchi Anand,Thomas A. Gaziano,Jean-Claude Mbanya,Rachel Nugent Pdf

Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.
