The second edition of this essential work presents how to diagnose, treat and develop an appropriate management plan for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Significantly updated chapters cover the fundamental sciences associated with CKD, its clinical assessment, evaluation, management of risk factors, along with cardiovascular disease in the context of CKD. Detailed insight is provided on how to assess for and manage a variety of CKD complications and special circumstances in CKD patients. The path to renal replacement therapy is also thoroughly described. New topics featured include associated rheumatic and electrolyte disorders. Furthermore, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are presented according to the latest staging system for CKD, with patient care being discussed separately for each disease stage. The book also recognizes the needs of busy clinicians by including helpful boxes summarizing the evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic issues and practice pearls based upon the latest guidelines. Management of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Clinician's Guide is a comprehensive practically applicable guide to the management of patients with CKD. Its didactic features enable the reader to quickly identify the key points covered and disseminate the information they require, making it a valuable resource for all practicing and trainee medical practitioners who encounter these patients.
