Problems can be caused by illness, injury, genetics, or aging and include disorders such as urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections and cancers, kidney stones, and kidney failure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 37 million U.S. adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and most of them do not know they have it. Although kidney disease and urinary tract disorders can have a significant impact on a person's physical, emotional, and social well-being, recent medical advances offer the promise of more effective treatments and they provide the means by which those affected can learn to cope more successfully with related challenges. Additionally, by understanding the risk factors associated with these types of disorders, people can make lifestyle adjustments and take preventive measures to preserve urological health. Kidney Disease and Urinary Tract Disorders Sourcebook, Fourth Edition provides information about the vital organs of the urinary system and explains how they work. It talks about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of various problems that impact the kidney and urinary system, including acute kidney injury, bladder stones, chronic kidney disease, kidney cysts, kidney stones, solitary kidney, urethral stricture, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and so on. It also discusses the genetic and congenital disorders along with the cancers that affect the kidneys and urinary tract. Various diagnostic tests such as creatinine test, blood urea nitrogen test, cystatin marker test, kidney biopsy, renal panel test, urine test, and urinary tract imaging that are used to detect kidney disease are also discussed in detail. It explains the treatments used to replace lost kidney function such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Information about Medicare coverage available for dialysis and kidney transplant service is also provided. The book concludes with a glossary of related terms, and a directory of additional resources that provide help and information to patients with kidney disease and urinary tract disorders.

It talks about risk factors for kidney disease and provides statistical data on the prevalence of kidney disease in the United States. Part 2: Acute and Chronic Kidney Diseases focuses on diseases and disorders affecting the kidneys, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, kidney cysts, renal artery stenosis, and diabetes insipidus. Kidney diseases that affect children are also explained in detail along with the information about immune disorders of kidney. Part 3: Diagnostic Tests for Kidney Disease provides information about various tests used to diagnose kidney disease such as creatinine test, blood urea nitrogen test, cystatin marker test, kidney biopsy, renal panel test, urine test, and urinary tract imaging.

Part 7: Cancers of the Kidneys and Urinary Tract describes the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of various cancers that can affect the different components of the urinary system, including kidney cancer, bladder cancer, urethral cancer, and prostate cancer. Part 8: Kidney Failure: End-Stage Renal Disease explains treatments used to replace lost kidney function such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. It talks about conservative management for kidney failure along with Medicare coverage available for dialysis and kidney transplant service. Information about end-of-life care for patients suffering from kidney disease is also provided. Part 9: Additional Help and Information offers a glossary of important terms and a directory of government and private organizations that provide help and information to patients with kidney disease and urinary tract disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text aids medical students and trainee doctors in developing their knowledge of the conditions covered and improving their ability to clinically assess patients and formulate a management plan. Once doctors are comfortable in interpreting these graphs, they can use them in consultations with patients about their kidney condition and so support self-management by patients, an increasingly important aspect of healthcare. Kidney diseases and the speciality of nephrology have traditionally been regarded as difficult to understand. This is compounded by the use of complex definitions and terminology. These complex definitions result from a need to categorise kidney diseases according to the way kidney function changes over time, and then to express this in numbers and words. Central to the assessment of patients is the measurement of kidney function. In our teaching of medical students and trainee doctors, as well as in our clinical practice and interaction with GPs and consultant colleagues, we have found that viewing graphs of patients’ kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR) against time is a much easier way of understanding kidney diseases. It provides the patient’s ‘kidney history’ and leads into a description of the natural history and management of their condition. We were surprised to find that this graphical approach is not used routinely in teaching or in daily clinical practice. We therefore believe there is a need for a book that uses this approach and we thus sought to compile a collection of illustrative case studies covering an array of disease categories, together with patients’ eGFR readings.

Book excerpt: Kidney disease is common, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Current statistics suggest that up to 8% of the population in developed countries have some degree of renal impairment. The economic and social consequences are enormous.Early detection coupled with the appropriate therapeutic strategy can radically reduce the progressive nature and complications associated with chronic kidney disease and successfully treat acute renal failure in many instances.It is essential that all physicians, both in hospitals and in the community, have an awareness of renal disease - the presenting signs, differential diagnoses, treatment strategies and approach to the management of complications.- An expert, factual presentation of exactly the information required to provide optimal care for patients- Three specialists of international repute present a clear and concise account of each disease state- Key points summarized at each chapter-end- Comprehensively illustrated - concise and directly applicable in the clinical setting
