Preface

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.
