Renal Disease in Dogs and Cats
Comparative and Clinical Aspects
edited by A.R. Michell
published 1988 by Blackwell Scientific Publications
ISBN 0-632-01818-6, 166 pp.
The book emphasizes fundamental, clinical and comparative aspects of renal disease in the dog, cat and human. It combines the expertise of leading British and American veterinary nephrologists with that of the President of the 10th International Congress of Nephrology. It explores concisely and clearly current areas of controversy and development in our understanding of chronic renal disease, and alerts us to dangerous misconceptions arising from over-enthusiastic generalisations between species, as well as drawing attention to the valuable insights arising from comparative clinical nephrology. Particular emphasis is placed on recent ideas which may enable us to understand why chronic renal disease tends to progress and, eventually to arrest this progression rather than simply alleviate its effects. The book will therefore, interest students of nephrology in the broadest sense - from veterinary students studying renal function to researchers and clinicians concerned with renal disease in man and animals.
Contents include: Renal Function, Renal Damage and Renal Failure; Kidneys and Drinking in Dogs; Polyuria and Polydipsia; Canine Chronic Renal Disease; Glomerular Disease in Humans: Comparative Aspects; Glomerulonephritis in the Dog; Renal Disease in the Cat; Chronic Progressive Renal Failure: Can Progression be Modified? Management of Chronic Renal Failure.
