A review detailing the latest discoveries in Uromodulin (Tamm–Horsfall protein) biology, its existence in multiple forms (polymeric and non-polymeric), its roles in urinary and systemic homeostasis, interactions with the immune system, and its association with kidney diseases such as Acute Kidney Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease. The article also explores emerging therapeutic opportunities related to targeting uromodulin.
A medical reference focusing on the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases and acid-base disorders, derived from the 18th Edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine.
This practical guide reviews current standards for life support and proposes a systematic ABCDE approach for healthcare providers in hemodialysis settings to assess and manage vital emergencies, given the high risk and multiple comorbidities of dialysis patients.
A comprehensive manual detailing the understanding and treatment of kidney disease. It covers foundations of renal physiology and pathophysiology, diagnosis via renal biopsy, and advances in treatment modalities including dialysis and renal transplantation. The book highlights the multidisciplinary approach utilized by the Rogosin Kidney Center, involving major input from various departments like Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, and Basic Sciences.
A clinical case-based question bank focusing on Nephrology and Internal Medicine topics. It provides detailed case presentations, laboratory results, and multiple-choice questions, with comprehensive explanations regarding conditions such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This text is part of a series addressing the demand for comprehensive, evidence-based literature on disease diagnosis using biomarkers. It covers high-throughput technologies (proteomics, genomics, metabolomics) and traditional methods to identify markers for various pathologies, including autoimmune disorders, cancers, and genetic disorders. This specific volume focuses on the application and discovery of biomarkers within the field of Toxicology.
A focused volume detailing the chemical and biological strategies for identifying and developing new therapeutic agents aimed at treating schizophrenia. This book is volume 44 in the RSC Drug Discovery Series.
A comprehensive compendium of the official European Association of Urology (EAU) clinical practice guidelines for 2025, covering diagnostics, staging, and management protocols for major urological conditions, including various genitourinary cancers (RCC, bladder, prostate, testicular), urolithiasis, LUTS, trauma, infections, and paediatric urology.
A collection of clinically relevant questions and detailed explanations covering topics in reproductive health, including management of menopausal symptoms and classification of miscarriage.
This book offers a pathophysiology-based management approach to mechanical ventilation for neonates and children. It aims to provide healthcare providers with a common framework focused on altered pulmonary mechanics and underlying pathophysiologic processes, rather than the complexities of the machinery itself.
A comprehensive clinical reference focusing on medical genetics and genomics. Topics include the clinical approach to the dysmorphic child, clinical teratology, neurodevelopmental disabilities (including intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders), abnormal body size and proportion, diagnostic methods such as cytogenetic analysis and molecular genetics (WES/WGS), and therapies for genetic disorders like Lysosomal Storage Diseases.
This book analyzes current therapeutics and future directions for pancreatic cancer, which is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death. It details advances in treatment, including multiagent chemotherapy (e.g., FOLFIRINOX) for resectable disease, and discusses the challenges and open questions regarding optimal therapy regimens for borderline resectable, locally advanced, and metastatic disease.
