Clinical Cases in Nephrology for the MRCP aims to prepare trainees for the nephrology component of the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP). This book is authored by Dr Andrew Lewington who is consultant renal physician and clinical sub-dean at one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, and has had extensive experience in the postgraduate education of trainee physicians. The two co-authors are current nephrology trainees who are actively involved in preparing postgraduates for the MRCP exam. The book therefore includes the perspective of not only the experienced clinician but also that of the nephrology trainee.Clinical Cases in Nephrology for the MRCP presents an extensive range of different nephrology cases extending from patients with electrolyte problems to critically ill patients with acute kidney injury. The case-based scenarios are structured in the style of the MRCP exam (best-of-five format). The authors provide an analytical framework for readers by organising simple detailed explanations for complex clinical nephrology problems in clear, concise bulleted lists format, supported by tables and colour figures. More than just a comprehensive revision text, this book offers an enlightening insight and dispels some of the misconceptions surrounding patients with kidney disease.
