Abstract

With expert input from additional section editors William G. Bennett, Jeremy R. Chapman, Adrian Covic, Marc E. De Broe, Vivekanand Jha, Neil Sheerin, Robert Unwin, and Adrian Woolf, the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology is a three-volume international textbook of nephrology with an unrivalled clinical approach backed up by science. It has been completely rewritten in 365 chapters for its fourth edition to bring it right up to date, make it easier to obtain rapid answers to questions, and to suit delivery in electronic formats as well as in print. This edition offers increased focus on the medical aspects of transplantation, HIV-associated renal disease, and infection and renal disease, alongside entirely new sections on genetic topics and clinical and physiological aspects of fluid/electrolyte and tubular disorders. The emphasis throughout is on marrying advances in scientific research with clinical management. The target audience is primarily the nephrologist in clinical practice and training as well as other healthcare professionals with an interest in renal disease.
