Evidence-Based Nephrology

Informationen zum Autor Donald A Molony MD Professor, Division of Renal Diseases and Hypertension Department of Internal Medicine University of Texas HSC-Houston Medical School Jonathan Craig Staff Specialist in Nephrology at the Children's Hospital, Westmead, Sydney and Senior Lecturer in Clinical Epidemiology and Community Medicine at the University of Sydney; Editor of the Cochrane Renal Group Klappentext This book covers the management of all major renal diseases from an evidence-based and patient-centred approach. With contributions from leading international experts who have a real understanding of evidence-based medicine it provides recommendations on treatment regimens to adopt for individual patients that are most strongly supported by the evidence.The inclusion of the latest observational and epidemiological data, as well as randomized controlled trial evidence ensures that the book properly reflects the current state of evidence available for nephrological practice. It will be a useful aid to all clinicians, including those caring for transplant and pediatric patients, as it covers the major clinical questions encountered by nephrologists.This reference is an invaluable source of evidence-based information distilled into guidance for clinical practice which will be welcomed by practitioners, trainees and associated health professionals. Zusammenfassung An important and unique new renal medicine text for nephrologists Makes the best evidence for treatment readily and easily available to the clinician Covers management of all the major renal diseases Written and edited by leading experts in nephrology and evidence-based medicine! many from the Cochrane Collaboration.
