This comprehensive book combines a review of the basic physiology and pathophysiology of each renal disorder and disease entity with state-of-the-art medical management guidelines based on evidence and expert opinion. Each chapter focuses on the unique and frequently challenging circumstances in pediatric patients, which are oftentimes very different from those in adult patients. Starting with a logical approach to each individual problem as seen in the ICU, it covers the pathophysiology of the child, the diagnostic approach and gives valuable up-to-date treatment recommendations. Health-care providers in all areas of care and all levels of training will find this unique book helpful. Those new in the field can use it as a beginner’s guide to become familiar with certain topics and those more advanced in their medical career will gain useful hints and find updated information on specific clinical disease entities.

Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field derived from tissue engineering, cell and developmental biology, biomaterials sciences, nanotechnology, physics, chemistry, bioengineering, and surgery. Research in this expansive field incorporates therapies associated with any disease that results from malfunctioning, damaged, or failing tissues. From engineering damaged blood vessels and corneas to generating bladders for transplantation into human patients, regenerative medicine is changing the face of medicine and expanding the possibilities for the translation of lab work.
Significant attention is currently directed to the biological and therapeutic capabilities of stem cells for developing novel treatments for acute and chronic kidney diseases. The kidney itself is also now being studied as a "model organ" because it has the capacity to regenerate after renal injury - investigations into the mechanisms underlying kidney organogenesis may provide clues to solving the puzzle of complex organ regeneration.
The proposed book will focus on regenerative mechanisms of renal repair and on the ways these regenerative processes can become subverted by intrinsic disease progression. This will be the first book summarizing existing knowledge on the subject of regenerative nephrology, from the impact of stem-cell engraftment and differentiation on renal function to the identification process of renal diseases treatable with stem-cell therapies.
Feature
Presents a comprehensive, translational source for all aspects of renal stem cells, tissue regeneration, and stem cell therapies for renal diseases in one reference work
Experts in the renal stem cell system in kidney repair and regeneration (from all areas of academic and medical research) take readers from the bench research (cellular and molecular mechanism) to new therapeutic approaches
Benefit
Saves academic, medical, and pharma researchers time in quickly accessing the very latest details on the renal stem cells, as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles.
Provides a common language for nephrology researchers, fellows, and other stem cell researchers to discuss the development of stem cells and their use in the repair and regeneration of the kidney as well as in combating a wide range of renal diseases (cancer, diabetes, hypertension)

Product Description: Despite significant improvement in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease, the morbidity and mortality remain high. However more is now understood about the hormonal influence on bone and vascular structures, and there have been major advances in the field of bone and mineral metabolism. This has lead to the development of new treatment strategies and agents.
This new second edition reflects the most current thinking and understanding in this fascinating field, as presented by world basic and clinical experts.
