This addition to the 'Year in' series reviews new developments in nephrology and renal medicine. The contributors discuss the continuing advances in understanding of renal physiology which, combined with studies of genetics and the epidemiology of disease, provide a more complete picture of inherited renal disease. Also covered are the latest strategies for the treatment and prevention of renal failure, nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, and chronic renal disease such as diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. The book concludes with an overview of new developments in the management of end stage renal disease, including haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation. Levy; J.
