In the past 8 years since the First Edition of the Handbook of Chronic Kidney Disease Management was published, the basics of preventing and slowing progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have not changed, but incremental improvements have been realized. In this Second Edition, we decided to follow the modernist ethic of “less is more,” as coined by the Chicago architect Mies van der Rohe. Thus, 44 chapters have been reduced to 31, excluding discussion of several disease-specific causes of CKD and some relatively avantgarde, but not yet clinically actionable, pathogenetic mechanisms. The goal remains the same: to increase survivability of our patients with CKD by mitigating cardiovascular risk and to slow the rate of CKD progression to the greatest extent possible. Most of the authors who contributed to the First Edition continue to share their wisdom in this Second Edition. An important, new chapter was added about acute kidney injury and the impact this has on the causation of CKD. New chapter authors have taken on the topics of acid–base balance and heart failure. This Handbook is intended not only for nephrologists, but also for the broad range of health care practitioners—internists, generalists including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, cardiologists, and endocrinologists—who care for early-stage CKD patients. I would like to express my deep and heartfelt thanks to the many chapter authors who worked so hard to make this book possible. Many thanks also to Aleksandra Godlevska for her modern art–inspired cover painting.
