Product Description
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is one of the most frequent and expensive genetic diseases. Based on an international workshop, this volume brings together the findings of research groups working in close collaboration on PKD. A number of papers review experimental models of cystic kidney disease and scrutinize the relevance of these models for autosomal dominant PKD, the most common form of human PKD. Further papers discuss the early treatment of hypertension and low-protein diets as potential methods to delay the progression of chronic renal failure. Focus is also placed on the progress of genetic studies towards isolation of the PKD1 gene on chromosome 16. An extensive study to assess the extent of genetic heterogeneity of autosomal dominant PKD in Europe is reported. This data is of prime importance for the use of DNA markers for early diagnosis of PKD. A computer program for quick drawing of pedigrees and analysis of linkage is described. ... Read more

Product Description
The book contains eight chapters dealing with the pathology of tubulointerstitial disease of the kidney and also a detailed update of the pathology of human renal cystic disease. Emphasis is placed on the prognostic importance of recognizing tubulointerstitial damage and discussed in detail are the present knowledge of the mechanisms of this damage and the possible reasons for the apparent disparity between the extent of glomerular damage and progression to chronic renal failure. The book is of equal relevance to renal physicians, scientists working in renal medicine research, and pathologists. In keeping with current trends in pathology, the histopathological discussion is supplemented by morphometric and molecular biology techniques. ... Read more

Product Description
Patients with rare disorders are often condemned to neglect: their disease is difficult to recognize, the information available on possible therapies is scanty (if there exists one at all) and, due to small patient populations, little research is done in the field. However, there are several examples of how research into the aetiology and pathogenesis of rare renal disorders has provided important information on the normal physiology of the kidney. Featuring reviews by leading experts in their field, this volume offers up-to-date information on a number of uncommon renal disorders, including Fabry disease, von Hippel-Lindau disease, tuberous sclerosis, autosomal recessive polycystic disease, medullary cystic disease, Alport syndrome, Liddle's syndrome, primary hyperoxaluria, systemic vasculitis and familial and recurrent hemolytic uremic syndrome. A chapter on gene therapy in nephrology is also included. This book should be important reading for all those involved in basic and clinical research of the kidney. Moreover, it provides valuable information for the practicing nephrologist wishing to learn more about how to recognize serious but neglected renal disorders. ... Read more
