Management of Acute Kidney Problems

Book Description
Acute kidney failure is an important clinical area in the intensive care unit setting. An estimated 5–20% of critically ill patients experience an episode of acute kidney failure during the course of their illness, and about 5% of patients admitted to an ICU will eventually require renal replacement therapy. In these patients, in-hospital mortality is extremely high, exceeding 50%. Thus, the early detection and causal treatment of acute kidney problems is vitally important for a successful outcome. Written by internationally renowned experts, this clinical reference offers helpful advice with the most recent information on the definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical causes of acute kidney failure as a fundamental prerequisite for prevention of this disorder. Moreover, it also covers differential diagnostic approaches for patients with acute renal failure and provides a detailed outline of important measures for their clinical management. Finally, separate chapters are dedicated to various key aspects related to the adequate delivery of acute renal replacement therapy. It is intended as a helpful guide for all clinicians involved in the care of patients at risk of developing acute kidney problems.

Book Description
The book "Renal Failure - The Facts" consists of some facts about diagnosis, etiopathogenis and treatment of acute and chronic renal failure. Acute, as well as chronic renal failure is great medical problems and their treatment is a burden for the budget of each government. The purpose of the chapters is to present some important issues of diagnosis and causes of AKI, as well as caused by snakes and arthropods, after cardiac surgery, as well as some therapeutic achievements in AKI. Well presented are the psychological condition in patients on haemodialysis, as well as the treatment of diabetic uremics. The book is aimed at clinicians with a special interest in nephrology, but it should also prove to be a valuable resource for any generalists who encounter a nephrological problems in their day-to-day practice.

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the latest findings in a wide spectrum of clinically important aspects of chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on clinical diagnosis and therapeutics. CKD is a global health problem with a rising morbidity and mortality. The last decade has seen significant improvements in determining the incidence, prevalence, and complications of CKD, mainly thanks to the definitions of CKD developed by the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI). However, increased recognition of CKD has led to awareness of the limitations of its clinical diagnosis and treatment, which are essential to patients’ wellbeing. This book is of particular value not only to nephrologists, but also to general practitioners and residents with an interest in CKD. It offers a well-organized exposition of the current knowledge base. Compared with previously published books on kidney disease and CKD, it has a smaller number of more concise chapters. As a result, readers can easily obtain an overview of the most important topics in CKD. We hope that practitioners will gain as much from reading this practical guide to clinical management of CKD as we have from editing it.

Book Description
Kidney failure represents a major health economic burden for all people and all nations. Despite the immense number of factors which can cause the initial injury to the kidneys, common response pathways are triggered which, unless broken, will ultimately lead to irreversible fibrosis within the kidneys. Unfortunately, early injuries to the kidneys can frequently be asymptomatic and chronic kidney disease has often developed before the patient has become aware there is a problem. Once established, chronic kidney disease is associated with a high morbidity and mortality for those affected. There has been a large amount of work in recent years focused on the early diagnosis and management of kidney disease to prevent its progression. The purpose of this book is to review the mechanisms which underlie both acute and chronic kidney injury, discuss their diagnosis, complications and management. The first section of this book covers the causes and complications of chronic kidney disease. Initially we review the mechanisms which underlie the progressive fibrosis by which chronic kidney disease progresses. There are then detailed discussions of the cardiovascular complications of chronic kidney disease. The second section of the book focuses on established end stage renal disease. Reviewing access to renal replacement therapies across ethnicities, the role of home therapies and how their use can be increased and finally we discuss the preparation and maintenance of access for dialysis. The third and final section of the book provides an update for the clinician into the diagnosis and management of acute kidney injury. Specifically the diagnosis and management of renal impairment in patients with plasma cell dyscrasias is reviewed and the prevention of acute kidney injury in the critically ill patient is discussed in detail.
