Description
The book attempts to document the contribution of haemostasis to the understanding of renal disease and foreshadow advances yet to come from this collaboration of disciplines which contains contriubtions from a number of specialists in the field. It outlines the haemostatic mechanisms and their relationship to the functioning of the kidney. This includes sections on normal and pathological haemostatic mechanisms, haemorrhagic tendency in uraemia, thrombosis, thrombotic microangiopathy and haemostatic defects associated with dialysis and induced treatments for renal disease.
