Treatment Of Primary Glomerulonephritis (Oxford Clinical Nephrology Series)
Available To Downloads

Primary glomerulonephritis is a common renal disease which may eventually lead to chronic renal failure. Treatment of glomerulonephritis is difficult. In particular, the use of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive drugs require expertise, knowledge of the drugs, and careful monitoring of the patient. Paradoxically, the treatment of glomerulonephritis has become even more complicated in the recent years, after the introduction of a number of newer immunosuppressive drugs.Extensively updated since publication of the first edition in 1997, this comprehensive yet concise guide to the treatment of even the most complex patients with primary glomerular diseases is full of practical information collected and organized in an easy-to-read manner. It encompasses the possible treatments of the different types of primary glomerulonephritis, including diseases intrinsic to the kidney of unknown or uncertain aetiology. Each of the main chapters is devoted to a single primary glomerulonephritis and follows a similar format to allow easy access of information.The book contains not only an evidence-based review of the topic, but also practical recommendations from internationally recognized experts in the field.

I bought this book to review recent information on glomerular diseases. The authors are all "heavyweights" in research, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. All of the major primary glomerular diseases are covered. It seems quite up to date including some of the newer molecular biology and genetic information. It is not a "cookbook" on treatment but it is well referenced for that information. I am finding it a very informative and actually enjoyable read.

This book is by far the most complete in the field of glomerulonephritis. Written by two heavyweights, it is not only a guideline for treatment. It deals with all aspects of nephritis, and even with some aspects of secondary nephritis and includes the opinion of the authors in certain topics.The previous edition is from more than ten years ago and we hope that the next edition will come sooner, since information in this field is changing in a very fast pace.

¡Saludos desde México!. Este es un libro realmente excepcional. Preciso, conciso. Tiene capìtulos sobre los fármacos inmunosupresores que te servirán de referencia rápida. Todas las glomerulopatías primarias con todos sus esquemas de tratamiento. Es un libro obligado para nefrología (sobre todo si no quieres estrellarte directamente contra el libro excelente -aunque lleno de paja y complicado- Brenner.Otros libros que meparecen indispensable son el Brenner (que ya mencionè), el Danovitch, de este mismo autor complicaciones del trasplante renal, el Silva de patología y el tratado de diálisis de Montenegro y Correa-Rotter. ¡Suerte a todos!.
