The scenario is followed by a question and answer on the best investigation, the diagnosis, and a discussion of the best treatment option and outcomes. This stepwise learning process makes this book uniquely helpful to trainees learning how to treat their complicated transplant recipients systematically. This book is an accurate and straightforward guide to assist future and current transplant physicians, as well as the primary care physicians who deal with these complicated patients every day.

Hemodialysis (HD) is the commonest form of kidney replacement therapy worldwide with a prevalence rate close to 90%. Despite significant improvements in HD techniques and related devices and solutions, the cardiovascular and all-cause mortality of HD patients remains unacceptably elevated. More recently, there have been significant improvements in the creation and maintenance of vascular access as well as the knowledge of types, classification, and monitoring of uremic toxins and their relationship with inflammation, atherosclerosis and vascular classification, and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. More interesting is the innovation in dialysis membranes/dialyzers, which resulted in the creation of the medium cut-off membrane, which enables the safe, simple, and effective removal of middle- and large-sized uremic toxins. This type of HD treatment is called expanded hemodialysis (HDx) therapy, which so far has resulted in significant improvement in the quality of life of HD patients as well as reductions in hospitalization, medications, and non-fatal cardiovascular events. Updates on Hemodialysis discusses these innovations and how they can be used to improve daily practice and achieve the best possible medical outcomes in HD patients.

This book will be the first book that presents the beneficial effects of hydrogen sulfide in the treatment of various kidney pathologies. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas with a distinctive smell of rotten eggs, was known for over three centuries for its toxicity and death at high concentrations especially among agricultural and industrial workers. This is due to its ability to reversibly antagonize complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. However, studies over the past two decades have shown that H2S has risen above its historic notorious label and has received significant experimental attention as an endogenously produced gaseous signaling molecule that plays an important role in cellular homeostasis and influences a myriad of physiological and pathological processes at low concentrations. Its production is enzymatically regulated and has specific molecular targets. Several recent in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that at low micromolar concentrations, H2S exhibits important therapeutic characteristics that target multiple molecular pathways and thereby preventing the development and progression of several pathologies.This beneficial effect of H2S suggests that it may meet the demand for alternative and/or additional therapeutic agents against various renal pathologies in which reduced levels of renal and plasma H2S were observed. Interestingly, while the distribution of H2S-producing enzymes is tissue-specific, they are abundantly expressed in the glomeruli and in the brush border and cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the renal tubules and in the peritubular capillaries. This makes the kidney a rich source of endogenous H2S production. From pre-clinical and clinical perspectives, this book is topical and timely, and seeks to lay the foundation for future clinical applications of H2S in nephrology.

Our world is facing unprecedented technological development, which affects all the sectors of society. The 4th industrial revolution has brought numerous advances that are currently integrated in our daily life, including artificial intelligence (A.I.), internet of things (IoT), genetic engineering, 3D-printing and robotics. The health care sector is one of the most impacted by these technologies of the so-called digital era. From the simple advent of medical records to robotic surgery, health care has significantly changed from the XX to XXI century and is constantly changing, incorporating novel technologies. Nephrology is itself an innovative branch of medicine, created as a discipline in the 1960s, with breakthrough inventions, such as the dialysis machine, which made it possible to prolong life of those who suffer from chronic kidney disease; kidney transplant, with point-of-care immunosuppression that favours maintenance of kidney allografts for long years; kidney biopsy, which made it possible to discover the mysteries of glomerulonephritis and nephropathology. Novel technologies, such as A.I., IoT, robotics, stem cells, 3D-printing, mHealth, eHealth and several others are starting to be applied in nephrology, with promising results. It is possible that a great part of these technologies will become routinely available in clinical practice, and the burden of kidney diseases will significantly decrease once prevention, prediction, detection, monitoring and treatment of kidney diseases are more precise, with patients taking part in the process and becoming more and more connected. This book gathers essential information on the technologies that have been applied in nephrology and that can be applied in the future, with real possibilities of improving the care of kidney diseases. At first glance, this work is directed to the entire nephrology community and all the healthcare professionals that deal with kidney diseases. Researchers from different fields, not directly linked to nephrology, may also be interested in the book since many of the topics presented are related to other areas and serve as examples of their uses in medicine, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data. Finally, the content provides an important resource to medical students, discussing technologies that will certainly be integrated in their professional practice.

The book explores how kidney disease care is being changed by new technologies, from inception and diagnosis to dialysis and kidney transplant. Massive technological advances have affected health care in the past decade, and doctors are moving quickly to change the way we provide care for kidney diseases. We are rapidly shifting from hospital- and clinic-based systems to providing care at home, with technologies that help monitor care and intervene remotely. Some of the technologies covered include genetic testing for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, metabolism/ezposome assessment, AI-driven tool for drug dosing, and apps available to patients. This book aims to educate providers on the many new scientific and technological interventions that can help monitor and mitigate kidney disease. 

Nephrology is an area of medical science that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of various kidney diseases and disorders. Some common kidney diseases and conditions treated under nephrology include chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury and kidney stones. Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. Acute kidney injury refers to the sudden and temporary loss of kidney function, often caused by conditions such as severe infections, dehydration, medications, or reduced blood flow to the kidneys. Kidney stones are hard deposits formed in the kidneys. They can be treated through medications, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of nephrology which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.

The branch of medicine which deals with the causes, diagnosis and treatment of various kidney diseases and disorders is known as nephrology. Some of the prominent causes of kidney diseases are kidney stones, diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease. There are various treatment approaches which are used within this field such as medications, dialysis and kidney transplantation. Medications can be used to manage the underlying causes and symptoms of kidney diseases. They are also used to control blood pressure, manage diabetes, reduce inflammation and treat infections. Dialysis is a treatment that performs the functions of the kidneys artificially when they are unable to do so effectively. It involves removing waste products and excess fluids from the blood using a machine. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of nephrology. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area of medicine as well as for experts.

Nephrology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney diseases and disorders. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products, regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, and producing hormones that control blood pressure and stimulate red blood cell production. Nephrology covers a wide range of diseases and disorders, including glomerular diseases, hypertension-related kidney diseases, and Kidney-related metabolic disorders. Glomerular diseases are a group of conditions that affect the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids. The treatment of hypertension-related kidney diseases involves controlling blood pressure to prevent or slow the progression of kidney damage. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of nephrology. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Nephrology is a specialized branch of internal medicine that deals with the physiology, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney-related diseases. Kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side in the retroperitoneal space and are a part of the urinary system. They are responsible for filtering blood and removing the waste products, excess water and electrolytes from the body. Some of the various conditions and diseases that can affect the kidneys include kidney/bladder cancer, excess excretion of protein in urine, glomerular diseases, kidney/bladder stones, acute or chronic kidney failure, and nephritis. A few symptoms that are associated with kidney diseases include swelling in the legs and feet, unexplained blood pressure changes, gradual loss of sense of taste and appetite, problem sleeping at night, and reduced urine output. Apart from medications, advanced treatments available for kidney diseases include continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), plasmapheresis, liver dialysis (MARS therapy), peritoneal dialysis (CPD), kidney biopsy, and kidney transplant. In this book, using case studies, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of nephrology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

In the past, most people haven't realized they are suffering from kidney disease until the damage is far-advanced. Then the only treatment options are the extremes of permanent dialysis or kidney transplantation. Historically, treating physicians expended only minimal effort to identify kidney dysfunction in its early phases. Very few options existed that could modify an otherwise inexorable downhill course.But things have changed. A wide variety of treatment options are now available to slow this steady decline in kidney function. Many of these interventions are new. Some are well-proven, some not so much. For those people with kidney disease and those people at risk - those with high blood pressure, those with diabetes, those with a family history of kidney disease - this is a new era. And as is true in so many aspects of life, in kidney disease as well, knowledge is power.In this compendium, Dr. Mark Wedel lays out all those options, their ups and downs, their benefits and their risks. As a physician who mentors kidney transplant patients and is a kidney transplant recipient himself, Dr. Wedel sees kidney disease from both sides of the examination table. From meditation to marijuana to medicines old and new, this book is like sitting down with your best friend or brother and getting advice, encouragement, and cheer. View the buffet table of available options and then work with your most trusted physician to tailor-make your own treatment path forward. A more hopeful era is dawning. Let's go greet the sun.
