This is the comprehensively revised and updated
edition of the book, with the inclusion of new chapters in emerging areas such
as palliative nephrology, a subject of increasing importance in view of the
rising burden of kidney diseases, now recognized as a major component of
“lifestyle diseases”.
The third
edition of the book was widely appreciated, particularly by practitioners, physicians
and residents preparing for a career in nephrology for its simple presentation and
elegant discussion. In view of the rapid advances in the field, the preparation
of a new edition after 5 years became a necessity.
Prof R
Kasi Visweswaran has brought together contributions from highly experienced faculty
members representing national institutes, medical colleges and leading teaching
hospitals across India, ensuring breadth and depth of expertise.
