Understanding Kidney Diseases

Autor Hugh C. Rayner, Mark Thomas, David Milford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2015

After a number of training posts, including a year as clinical fellow in Melbourne Australia, he was appointed as a consultant in renal and general medicine in Birmingham in 1993.
As part of his studies for the Diploma in Medical Education from Dundee University in 1996, he presented a dissertation on the interpretation of serum creatinine and published a consensus curriculum for undergraduate renal medicine [1]. He is a full time nephrologist, clinical lead for the West Midlands Renal Network, and continues to teach renal medicine to undergraduates and trainee doctors.
 Dr Mark Thomasstudied Biological Sciences and Medicine as an undergraduate at Kings College London and Westminster Medical School. After postgraduate training he was a Research Fellow at Washington University Medical School in St Louis, USA for three years, studying models of proteinuric renal disease. This interest continued during Senior Registrar training in Leicester. He has been a Consultant Nephrologist and Physician at the Heart of England Foundation Trust in Birmingham since 1998.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book provides the essential understanding needed for the assessment of patients with kidney disease. The chapters follow the sequence taken during a clinic consultation and when clerking a patient. At each stage, the principles and concepts underlying aspects of renal medicine that may seem difficult are clearly explained.
Understanding Kidney Diseases includes numerous case studies and charts based upon patients’ data to help students, residents and fellows develop their knowledge and skill in managing patients.
