Inherited Disorders of the Kidney - Investigation and Management

Klappentext Inherited disorders of the kidney are becoming important! not only in pediatric nephrological practice! but also in adult nephrology! representing a high proportion of patients with end-stage renal failure. In almost 50% of all children and in 15% of adults accepted for renal replacement therapy! the causative disorders have a hereditary basis. Many of these disorders are apparent at birth but may not cause renal failure until adolescence. Others may not present until adult life. The contribution of these disorders to adult nephrological practice has so far been understated in most of the existing textbooks. This book presents a practical approach to the investigation and management of patients with inherited renal disorders. The book is aimed at both established pediatric and adult nephrologists! as well as nephrologists in training! and will also be of interest to pediatricians! geneticists! and research workers in this field. Zusammenfassung A high proportion of adults with end-stage renal failure are suffering from an inherited disorder of the kidneys. Dramatic clinical and scientific advances have been made in this field in the past decade. This is the first book to present a practical approach to the investigation and mangement of people with inherited renal disorders, taking an international perspective.
