Industry Reviews A guide for clinicians, internists, nephrologists, and others aiming to improve their diagnosis and treatment skills, particularly in caring for patients whose diagnosis or treatment is not straightforward. The focus is on potentially reversible causes of acute and subacute renal failure in which serum creatinine concentration rises over days to weeks, but more chronic diseases are mentioned as well. An introduction is followed by sections on evaluation; various causes of renal failure and their diagnosis; differential diagnosis; management of renal failure; and a list of 20 problem cases followed by diagnoses and discussion. Appendices list the medications that cause renal failure with proper use and nephrotoxins other than properly-used legitimate drugs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
