Clinical Pediatric Nephrology

by R.J. Postlethwaite (Editor)

Acclaimed as a model clinical text, this comprehensive book deals with all the key kidney, ureter and bladder problems likely to be encountered by the non-specialist paediatrician.
Adopting a problem-solving approach, the text focuses on presenting symptoms, differential diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. Where areas of contention are covered, a clear opinion on the appropriate treatment is given. For this edition the clinical orientation of the text has been strengthened and the latest research and approaches are presented. In particular, there are six completely new chapters including those on antenatal diagnosis, postnatal management of hydronephrosis, steroid resistant and steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome. Nine chapters have been virtually rewritten and the remainder brought up to date. The rational, well-structured text is ideal for trainee and non-specialist paediatricians, for those embarking on a career in paediatric nephrology and for nephrologists and urologists with an interest in children.
