Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology

Textbook of Nephroendocrinology, 3rd edition remains the definitive translational reference in the field of nephroendocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. It offers researchers and clinicians expert analyses of nephroendocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoporosis, and hypoparathyroidism.
Since the publication of the 2nd edition in 2009 there have many updates and new findings have emerged. The new edition covers these needed updates and new chapters have been added including a dedicated chapter on the pathophysiology of inflammation, iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, the treatment of pre-eclampsia, and HIF-PHIs.

- Presents emerging data on the role of metabolic acidosis in the progression of CKD and novel agents to treat pre-eclampsia, including proton pump inhibitors, metformin, micronutrients, and biologics
- Covers the role of metabolic acidosis in kidney progression, metabolic acidosis, and chronic kidney disease
- Offers clear, translational presentations by top endocrinologists and nephrologists in each specific hormone or functional/systems field
