Agnes B. Fogo Libri

Fundamentals of Renal Pathology is a compact and up-to-date resource on the basics of renal pathology that will be of particular value for residents and fellows in training in renal pathology, general pathology, and nephrology, but will also serve as a handy reference for the more experienced. This second, revised and updated edition of the book offers an integrated approach based on contributions from established experts in the field. Key diseases are discussed within the context of clinical presentations, with the emphasis on clinicopathological correlation and differential diagnosis. Topics discussed include glomerular diseases with nephrotic or nephritic syndrome presentations; systemic and vascular diseases affecting the kidney, including diseases affecting the renal transplant; tubulointerstitial diseases; and plasma cell dyscrasias and associated diseases. Well-chosen color illustrations and electron micrographs enhance and complement the text.

This new atlas covers all major inflammatory, infectious, pre-neoplastic, and neoplastic diseases of the kidney. Over 600 illustrations help readers to recognize the pathologic features and clinical manifestations of both common and rare renal disorders and to formulate confident and accurate diagnoses. This resource, Diagnostic Atlas of Renal Pathology, is designed as a companion book to, “The Kidney 7th Edition” by Brenner and Rector. The newest information regarding categorizing and classification of diseases is presented and how this relates to the various morphological lesions illustrated and their clinical significance.
