Serves as a key reference point in bridging the gap between cardiology and nephrology
Covers biomarkers and therapies in cardio-renal physiology, cardiovascular and renal transplant guidelines, lipid management in CKD and clinical scenarios absent from the current literature
Authored by international leaders in nephrology, cardiology, lipidology and critical care
Extending from the outpatient management of cardiovascular and kidney disease, to hospital-based decision making in patients with cardio-renal disease and complex interfaces such as hemodialysis in patients with ventricular assist device support, this book serves as a single reference point for cardiology and nephrology clinicians and researchers dealing with the significant overlap areas between these two specialties. Chapters cover the physiology, biomarkers, therapeutic agents and full spectrum of these comorbidities and feature separate sections on cardiovascular and CKD evaluations, stratification of kidney transplant patients, lipid management in CKD, interventional strategies and hypertension. Leaders in cardiology, nephrology, hypertension and lipidology bring together the latest evidence with their collective clinical experience into this invaluable resource.This textbook is an essential resource for physicians and allied professionals practicing cardiology, nephrology, students and physician trainees, to deepen their understanding of this crucial field.
"It provides an advanced knowledge base for nephrologists caring for their patients with cardiovascular disease. ? The book is appropriate for practicing nephrologists, or trainees looking for more specialized knowledge. ? Overall, this book provides an extensive and accessible review of current cardio-nephrology practice, and would serve as an excellent resource for clinicians looking to expand their knowledge on a common intersection of pathology." (Paul Adams, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
