Full Description
This book provides a broad and in-depth guide to electron microscopy in renal disease. Practical and clinically focussed chapters cover all diseases encountered by renal pathologists within daily practice. High quality electron microscopy images illustrate the technical aspects of electron microscopy, approaches to ultrastructure, normal kidney structures, glomerular pathology, tubulo-interstitial pathologies, vascular pathology, and kidney transplantation.
Atlas of Renal Ultrastructural Pathology aims to give readers an understanding of the main ultrastructural patterns and is relevant to renal pathologists, nephrologists, and transplant pathologists, as well as Biomedical Scientists involved in Electron Microscopy.
