Oxford American handbook of nephrology and hypertension

About this book

"This unique pocket book provides rapid access to evidence-based guidelines and practical advice about the day-to-day management of patients with renal disease. The reader will find precise, prescriptive information on clinical assessment, acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, and renal replacement therapies. In line with contemporary nephrological practice, a significant portion of the handbook deals with the problem of hypertension, a major cardiovascular risk factor and the most common indication for prescription drug therapy. It is an invaluable resource for residents, as well as a useful reference for practitioners. The Oxford American Handbook of Nephrology and Hypertension is the indispensable source on the subject."--Jacket
