Glomerulonephritis

This Handbook serves as a convenient, state-of-the-art and comprehensive resource on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of glomerular diseases. It provides clinical approaches, modalities, and challenges, along with the latest developments since the publication of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO): Glomerulonephritis.

Chapters dedicated to glomerular diseases mirror the current classification schemes used by nephrologists and pathologists. These chapters include essential topics such as definition and natural history, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, pathology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment (with practical algorithms), prognosis, and future research directions.

The contributing authors are internationally renowned experts in glomerulonephritis, renal pathology, and clinical nephrology. They bring real-world insights from their experience in managing glomerular diseases in both pediatric and internal medicine practices.

By filling a considerable knowledge gap, this book is an invaluable resource for general nephrologists, healthcare providers caring for patients with glomerular diseases, and researchers. It is also beneficial for medical students, interns, residents, and fellows, as well as all clinicians involved in medical education.

Glomerulonephritis stands out as a must-have reference for those in the medical field seeking to deepen their understanding of kidney diseases. With its comprehensive coverage and expert contributions, this handbook supports both practical application and academic exploration.
