This work is no substitute for individual patient assessment based upon healthcare professionals’ examination of each patient and consideration of, among other things, age, weight, gender, current or prior medical conditions, medication history, laboratory data, and other factors unique to the patient. The publisher does not provide medical advice or guidance, and this work is merely a reference tool. Healthcare professionals, and not the publisher, are solely responsible for the use of this work including all medical judgments and for any resulting diagnosis and treatments. Given continuous, rapid advances in medical science and health information, independent professional verification of medical diagnoses, indications, appropriate pharmaceutical selections and dosages, and treatment options should be made, and healthcare professionals should consult a variety of sources. When prescribing medication, healthcare professionals are advised to consult the product information sheet (the manufacturer’s package insert) accompanying each drug to verify, among other things, conditions of use, warnings, and side effects and identify any changes in dosage schedule or contraindications, particularly if the medication to be administered is new, infrequently used, or has a narrow therapeutic range.

Over these last years, we have received many comments and suggestions not only from our second-year medical students but also from house staff, nephrology fellows, and colleagues; we are most grateful for their feedback and encouraging words. As a consequence of these suggestions, we have further expanded the sections on molecular aspects of the mechanisms that result in kidney dysfunction and the morphologic expression of the major diseases that affect the kidney; the illustrations are in full color and inserted into the text. The list of suggested readings has been updated and summaries are included at the end of physiology chapters. We have also reviewed supplemental self-examination questions that permit application of key concepts to clinical cases and to develop more nuanced understanding. However, the core and the principal aim of this book remain unchanged: to provide the student with a solid understanding of the mechanisms that result in kidney dysfunction and disease and to serve as the basic reading material and text for a course in kidney pathophysiology.
