Increased recognition of the overlap between critical care and renal medicine as well as recent advances in the understanding of acute renal failure and the application of renal replacement therapies, have brought increased attention to the nephrologist's role in the intensive care unit. This book covers all aspects of the renal system as seen from this perspective, including causes and management of acute kidney injury, end-stage kidney disease and renal replacement therapies. The volume provides an approach for the resident in nephrology. It highlights recent advances in the field, also making this text a useful reference to those already established within the field of critical care.
