Diagnosis and Treatment of Kidney Diseases

Kidneys are the two bean-shaped organs and each kidney is approximately the size of a fist. They filter unnecessary water and waste from the blood and produce urine. Kidney disease refers to the impairment of kidneys where the kidneys are damaged to an extent where they are incapable of filtering blood efficiently. The cells of the kidneys can be damaged due to ischemic, immunological and toxic complaints, which cause organ dysfunction and failure in certain cases. Acute kidney injury is a prevalent occurrence that is linked to negative renal and patient outcomes. The human kidneys have a limited capacity for regeneration. The immune system plays a significant role in the regeneration capacity of the kidneys, as it first promotes inflammation and then promotes tissues healing. This book explores all the important aspects of kidney diseases in the present day scenario. It provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of nephrology, this book targets students and professionals.
