No minimum orderDescription
The Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology is the definitive translational reference in the field of nephro-endocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems. It offers researchers and clinicians expert, gold-standard analyses of nephro-endocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoporosis, and, hypoparathyroidism.
Key Features
- Investigates both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems
- Presents a uniquely comprehensive and cross-disciplinary look at all aspects of nephro-endocrine disorders in one reference work
- Clear translational presentations by the top endocrinologists and nephrologists in each specific hormone or functional/systems field
Readership
Researchers and clinicians in nephrology and endocrinology
