Description
This highly acclaimed book deals with all the key kidney, ureter and bladder problems likely to be encountered by the non-specialist paediatrician and paediatric nephrologist. The book adopts an evidence-based, problem solving approach and focuses on presenting clinical symptoms rather than being disease orientated. Emphasis is placed on differential diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. Where no evidence is available or where controversy exists, a clear opinion on the most appropriate treatment is provided. For this completely revised and updated edition over half of the text is revised. New chapters have been added on psychosocial care principles, drug prescribing in children and paediatric nephrology in the third world. Certain chapters have been condensed for clarity and other chapters have been combined to facilitate practical use. This edition is based around practical guidelines and contributions have been collected from international experts in the field. The chapters contain key point boxes highlighting the important take-home messages. The well-structured text is ideal for trainee and non-specialist paediatricians, for paediatric nephrologists and for nephrologists and urologists with an interest in children. This book is undoubtedly regarded as 'the' paediatric nephrology textbook to be held on the shelves of all general paediatric departmental libraries.
Reviews / Votes
The strengths of past editions of Clinical Paediatric Nephrology have been comprehensiveness and conciseness. In the latest, the original editor has become the junior - is this where postgraduate medical education is leading us? - the publisher has changed and the menu has expanded to include psychosocial matters, information for families and third-world paediatric nephrology. Passe contributors have been dumped and the fresh team is international, multi-disciplinary and multiprofessional. The ephebic transformation is dazzling . . . In its latest guise, this work remains a must for postgraduate examination candidates and many paediatric departments will wish to possess it as a bench tool. * Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Vol 97 * Anyone involved in the care of children should ensure that this book is readily available for reference in their department library or clinical area. * Archives of Disease in Childhood, 83 * This is an extremely valuable text for any paediatrician, and remains the standard clinical text for those with a special interest in nephrology. It is also highly recommended for paediatric nephrologists, particularly those in training, and for physicians wishing to broaden their knowledge base of those conditions with their basis in childhood. * Renal Medicine * From reviews of the previous edition: ... destined to become a major British textbook in its field. * Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine * ... a strong candidate for the one textbook on paediatric kidney disease that a primary care physician might care to own. * New England Journal of Medicine *More details
