Nephrology - Dialysis - Transplantation (Nephrology Research and Clinical Developemnts Series) 2011



Product Description
 Nephrology deals with the study of the function and diseases of the
kidney. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the
cause of renal failure in 5-10 per cent of the patients in dialysis or
transplantation. This book discusses the several conditions which are
associated with the rate of progression. Peritoneal dialysis (PD), which
has been widely used as one of the major renal replacement therapies
for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is also explored in this
book. Furthermore, the important role of PAI-1 and the value of
therapeutic approaches targeting PAI-1 in progressive renal fibrosis is
also examined. Because renal interstitial fibrosis occurs in virtually
all the progressive renal diseases leading to end-stage renal failure,
controlling it would be a reasonable therapeutic strategy. Other
chapters in this book include a review of therapeutic plasma exchanges
(TPE), the potential mechanisms that may regulate the effect of
macrophages upon renal interstitial fibrosis and the pathophysiological
implications of inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy
