The primary purpose of writing Pediatric Kidney Disease: A Case-Based Approach is to provide complete state-of-the-art reviews and assessments of kidney diseases in children that are frequently encountered in real-world routine daily clinical practice. More than 400 cases are divided into nine chapters consisting of acute and chronic kidney failures, congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, fluid, electrolytes and acid-base disorders, genetic disorders, glomerulonephritis, hypertension, tubulointerstitial diseases, and urinary tract infections. Each chapter contains extensive discussions of clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, and treatments of relevant kidney disease. Each case report begins with a succinct summary of the patient’s history, signs and symptoms, examinations, and initial investigations followed by questions and answers. The answers and comments provide a detailed discussion on each topic, with further case references where appropriate. The format of case reports will illuminate the basic principles and pathophysiology of diseases of the kidney and define diagnosis and treatment. The selected case reports focus on the essential aspects of the patient’s presentation findings and management needed to assist in the differential diagnosis. They develop a process of logical questioning from the presentation of the signs and symptoms and laboratory data, and they are presented in the way in which our patients come to us with their signs and symptoms or are referred to us by our colleagues. Each question is followed by a detailed discussion that reviews recent publications and translates emerging areas of science into data that is useful at the bedside. The content is an evidence-based medicine approach, resulting in improved quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of patient care. An updated bibliography concludes each set of clinical presentations. This format will help readers stay abreast of developing areas of clinical nephrology. These true-to-life cases will help readers recognize important clinical symptoms and signs and develop the diagnostic and management skills needed for the cases they will encounter in their routine daily clinical practice. The book is ideal for residents and fellows rotating on nephrology services. The material is also useful as a first-line resource for other practicing physicians who need quick access to current scientific and clinical information on managing pediatric kidney disease.
