The revised, updated 3rd edition of this useful and practical resource provides a clear, logical approach to the use of renal biopsy. It presents comprehensive coverage of renal disease in a brief, concise format, with equal emphasis placed on clinical and histologic data. This edition has undergone sweeping revisions, including the addition of a new, highly respected author. Many sections of the text have been completely rewritten, and most of the book's illustrations and diagrams have been changed and/or updated. New coverage includes AIDS, hypertension, infections, genetic diseases, toxic nephropathies, and transplantation. An introductory chapter reviews the main histologic features found in each anatomic part of the kidney. Diagrams and illustrations demonstrate the changes to be expected. The histological features and illustrations presented in the introductory chapter are keyed to subsequent chapters where specific diseases are discussed. Coverage reflects current concepts and literature, as well as the collective expertise of both US and European practices. A brief, concise bibliography directs readers to relevant additional readings.
