Full Description
Ask rheumatologists what is one thing that they most desire and they will say:
"I wish I knew more about nephrology so I could care for patients whose rheumatologic diseases manifest with renal complications. Nephrologists feel just the same, seeking to understand the implications that autoimmune diseases have for their patients."
As part of the Interdisciplinary Rheumatology book series, this book will serve as a dialogue between rheumatologists and nephrologists and provide a masterclass from world-renowned experts on these topics.

Key Features:
Provides a clinical approach to the patient with nephrologic manifestations of rheumatic disease.
Details cutting-edge research with inputs from the world's leading experts, for both nephrologists and rheumatologists.
