This text offers medical students a case-based approach to learning mechanisms of renal disease. Each chapter covers a disease and begins with a patient case, followed by discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Issues of differential diagnosis and therapy are linked to pathophysiologic mechanisms. Short questions interspersed in the text require students to apply their knowledge, and detailed answers to the questions are given. This edition includes a full-color insert and an appendix of normal lab values.
The Essentials: Renal Pathophysiology by Helmut G. Rennke, Bradley M. Denker Overview
Editorial Reviews
Doody's Book Review Service , Jens Goebel, MD, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center -- "Like the first edition of 1994, this second edition provides a solid, broad understanding of the mechanisms underlying kidney dysfunction and disease...The book comprehensively covers all aspects of the kidney function in health and its alterations in kidney disease, acute and chronic. It is written, illustrated, and structured very well with a useful mix of case vignettes, summaries, questions and two-color illustrations that are clear and helpful...The strength of this book is its didactic clarity, conciseness, and structure, reflected in its compact paperback format while preserving its comprehensiveness."-Doody's Book Review Service
The Essentials: Renal Pathophysiology by Helmut G. Rennke, Bradley M. Denker Review
This was a great book, but I'm not sure it would have been as helpful without having previously read a different book (a physiology text) relating to the basic renal physiology. This was a good source for Renal pathophysiology following the previous source.
