Pathogenesis and Treatment in IgA Nephropathy: An International Comparison
Editat de Yasuhiko Tominoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mar 2016
Immunohistopathologically, IgA nephropathy is characterized by the granular deposition of IgA (IgA1) and C3 in the glomerular mesangial areas with mesangial cell proliferation and the expansion of mesangial matrices. It is clear that IgA nephropathy is one of the most common types of chronic glomerulonephritis in the world. This disease may lead to end-stage kidney disease, with its enormous economic impact on healthcare everywhere. Efforts by many investigators around the world have gradually clarified various aspects of the pathogenesis and treatment of IgA nephropathy. However, there are many controversial strategies for the treatment of patients with IgA nephropathy throughout the world, as there are several limitations for treatment in each country. This volume provides nephrologists everywhere with an overview and comparison of both global and regional findings in basic and clinical fields in IgA nephropathy. It covers genetic variation, aberrant IgA1 production, and classification etiology, guidelines, and treatment goals, with all chapters written by top international researchers.

Recenzii
“This is an informative look at IgA nephropathy, one of the most common types of chronic glomerulonephritis in the world. … This is a resource for those engaged in research or clinical care of patients with IgA nephropathy. It is likely most appropriate for nephrology trainees and those who practice general nephrology, as well as researchers in the field. … Each chapter is divided into sections, clearly demarcated by objectives, and includes colorful images and figures.” (Jon Webb, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
